I've been reading a book about Native Americans in comedy and there was a whole chapter on Paul Littlechief who played the Vegas Strip in 1970 and was an excellent self-promoter. He was a Kiowa-Comanche man from Oklahoma. Hard to verify some of the other parts of the story from the book (his second wife was only known as Baby Rae in all sources I could find) but it was a lot of fun trying to track down his old music and photos.
Occasionally someone just pings me on social media and says "Hey this person really should have a Wikipedia page, don't you think?" and I can assemble one. Laverne Jacobs is a law professor and disability rights expert who is the first Canadian member of the UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. She wrote the first Canadian disability law textbook. I'll be honest, this article mostly wrote itself.
