Stephen Oakie, A Teddy Bear for His Granddaughter
“This (teddy bear) is for my granddaughter. She’s seven years old. I got her a little gift, it’s beautiful. She lives in Carson City. I’m going to send it to her because I don’t have a car or nothing.”
“I’m from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. Please send these pictures to my address so my son can see what I look like. I want my son to see me.”
