Did the Flatheads speak French before the French people came? Did they even call themselves Flatheads?
Do not learn your history from movies. Learn it from me.
MARK
Here is the Flathead tongue we speak.
Of course not. But the time that's been referenced the French had already been there so the point is moot. When english speaking Americans showed up they had been speaking French for awhile. So the 'in historia tempus', the Plains Indians knew French. Even to Lewis and Clark era.
Did they even call themselves Flatheads?
Who knows, other Indians probably did.
Do not learn your history from movies. Learn it from me.
Read the book on Johnson, would learn it from you if you had the gouge.
