GEORGE Harney, b.1845 Oregon Indian

Hello! Just passing this along:

I found some old 1900 census records from the Siletz Indian Reservation and found some information regarding the Harney family:

George Harney, born in Oregon in 1845, is listed as 100% Rogue River Indian.
His wife, Elizabeth Harney, born in Oregon in 1871, is listed as Chinook Indian on her father's side and Salmon River Indian on her mother's side. Together, they had the following children:

Agnes (1887)
Donald (1900)
Eveline/Evelene (1888)

I hope this helps someone connect to their Native heritage!
