content: The accession information identifies Buckskin Charlie as Sioux, however there are several prominent non-Sioux men who have been called Buckskin Charlie. There was a non-Native American man, Charles White (1846 - 1923), called Buckskin Charley/Charlie, who was a beekeeper, translator, blacksmith, and scout, originally from Ohio, who went west to Nebraska circa 1865 and later Colorado. White was listed as an interpreter at the Devils Lake (now Spirit Lake) Dakota Reservation, North Dakota, in the Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs 1892, 1893, 1894. https://nebraskahistory.pastperfectonline.com/byperson?keyword=White, Charles, 1846-1923, retrieved 10-28-2021. There was also a Southern Ute man named Buckskin Charley/Charlie, a.k.a. Sapiah. He succeeded Chief Ouray in 1880, becoming the first Ute leader during the reservation period.
