I am the granddaughter to Wallace Sam and the oldest daughter to Ellen (Ella)Mae Sam granddaughter to Julia Powderfair (Powderface)northern Cheyenne in Lame Deer Montana. I saw the posting just today when I put my grandfather name in and I was shocked to the response and how many fami,y members there are. I don't know much about my grandfather Wallace that he was married twice to my grandmother Julia and he had a son Wallace Jr. by the second wife. I had a chance to visit where my mother and grandmother grew up on the Northern Cheyenne reservation approximately 8 years ago.i do have some saddened news my mother Ella Mae passed away 11 years ago at the age of 64 on Feb 18,2004 exactally on her 64 1/2 6 months before her birthday August 18th. She is buried along with my grandmother on the Indian reservation. I would love to find out more about my family. My mother named me Portland Marie I go by the name of rie.
