Talk:Peter La Farge

message: The Hopi Reservation is not anywhere near Santa Fe, NM. It is in northern Arizona. There is a village of Tewa descendants there, who fled the Spanish during the 17th century, from the area around Santa Fe. So, was La Farge raised be Tewas near Santa Fe, or those on the Hopi Reservation? Wschart 21:38, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Peter La Farge.jpg

message: Oliver Albee LaFarge was born in NYC on April 30, 1931 and grew up on a ranch near Fountain, Colorado. Oliver Hazard LaFarge and Wanden Matthews were his parents, but were divorced when he was 3 years old. He changed his name to Peter while still a boy.  He attended high school at the Fountain Valley School, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80911.  I was a preschool child at the school during WW2 years, and was vaguely acquainted with Peter at that time.  He was well known at the school for his outstanding riding ability and his gymkhana skills that presaged his career as a rodeo performer.
An article on La Farge by Jeanne Olive appeared in the recently published Winter 2009 Bulletin from the school.  According to quoted discussions with LaFarge's sister, his father may have had some Narragansett blood (see bio on his father), and he probably did not commit suicide.  His sister believes he died from an experimental treatment he was taking for his mental illness - "cobra venom injections thought to help by numbing nerves."  
According to that article, from primary sources, LaFarge learned his great empathy for the Native Americans and their plight from his anthropologist father, Oliver LaFarge.  According to Jeanne Olive, he may have led people to believe he was more Native American than could be proven by blood sampling. 67.161.2.3 (talk) 06:46, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
