I thought Jim Thorpe was from Yale, Oklahoma?

There is a plaque in downtown Yale claiming this hero of the town.

He was born on the Sac and Fox Indian Reservation, in Prague, Oklahoma. He was also part Potawatomi Indian....I am related to him somehow or another. Too hard to trace..but that’s what I’ve been told.
