1900 census- living in Oklahoma with daughter, Susie Medicine Water,[1]
The dates in this profile are questionable. He supposedly died in 1924, but had a child in 1834.

This profile appears to be a muddle of multiple people. Records from 1892 list a Cheyenne man named "Medicine Water" aged 51 with a wife named " Ma ka on na" aged 61 and a daughter named "Red Woman" aged 11. Either the wife's age is incorrect, the daughter had a different mother, or the daughter is actually a granddaughter. Only father and daughter are listed on the next census, in 1895. He was still alive at age 83 when a census was taken on June 30, 1924.
The 1900 U.S. Indian Census lists Medicine Water, head, Susie Medicine Water (other name Red Woman), age 19, daughter her husband, and a son.
I can't do it. I Need one of the profile managers to please change his last name at birth to Cheyenne. Reminder: we use tribe name for Native Americans for the era before they adopted surnames. Once done, I can Project protect the profile to prevent the name from being changed again, thanks
This family was Cheyenne/Arapaho, not Comanche. They have no Texas connection, they were from the Northern Plains and forced to move to Indian Territory in 1867. I believe the earliest roll is from 1887.

I haven't seen evidence that the profile manager has continued interest in this profile and I encourage you to make the changes needed.
I will also ask Eowyn to PPP the profile. You and I as project coordinators should still be able to attach or detach relations as needed.
