BY BRO LEE HALL

INTRODUCTION:

Bro Lee Hall's Maternal Great Grandfather, was the first full-blooded

*
(KIOWA Indian) to be ordained as a Pastor, Saddle Mountain KIOWA Indian Baptist Church, Saddle Mountain, Kiowa County, OKlahoma, in 1906. It had just become Oklahoma Territory, having been Indian Territory for so long a time. And Even though the name-giving inclination and leaning may have favored his "Warrior Side."
Remember, also, that if this is to be used, it is only for the GLORY of GOD, THE FATHER, in the name of HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, JESUS.

THE BIRTH, NAMING AND LINEAGE OF:

August 11, 1932 This is the story of why I was given this name at birth; and who gave it to me and some of the wherefores preceding its giving.

I am of THE Today, called KIOWA American Indians. I am also known as:

HARLAN LEROY (LEE) ZOTIGH HALL +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thereby satisfying and accommodating every agency from The Bureau of Indian Affairs, The U.S. Army, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, The Bureau of the Census, The Enrollment Committee of The KIOWA tribe of Indians of Oklahoma, and Friends.

All of that aside, my real and first name is the main one that counts; All others being pale, alongside. The word describes "Pulled from the Water" in the KIOWA language. The tribal custom of giving names this way is centuries old, it is on the correct path of The HOLY Spirit and yields to it's commands. My beloved Grandmother who had it stored away, could not possibly have known, that twenty years or so down these corridors of time, I would be in a combat situation, and, of higher coincidence, almost drowned in The Korean War, and was myself, "Pulled from the Water."

This absolutely beautiful lady, , was my Paternal Grandmother, My Maternal Grandmotherserved as mid-wife at my birth. What more could one ask than to have each Grandmother taking part in your own life start? Also present was the fine old gentleman of rock-hard courage, . He had already come through One Hundred Two Winters and was the very last High Priest of The Sun Dance. Most important: He attested to my birth with prayer. He went home in 1933.
How I came to be given the name was not at all unusual in our culture. Some of the Old Cave "Pictures" found, indicate that CAUIGU have been warriors nigh ten thousand years. The name was passed to me and n the background information of the 1870's, , my Paternal Great Grandfather, lends credence by an exploit. All of our reviewing, from his time to mine, shows no other males born who experienced warfare. My 25TH Infantry Division participation in 1951-1952, during The Korean War is a matter of military record. CHAL A N A U N (His name is descriptive of a goose honking in flight) and his group of warriors had a skirmish with Texas Rangers. The little town of Seymour, Texas, along The Brazos River, is today, closeby. He was the son-in-law of , renowned principal War Chief of The KIOWA Nation. This story is not about him, but is brought to the fore for historical tracing and accuracy of honorable bloodlines. He was also a member of The KO-EET-SENKO, the highest military order that KIOWAS had. Stay in front of the front in any and all battles, until killed, or CAUIGU were successful that day. Old Buffalo Hide Calendars (Knife-Etched) say born 1799 or 1800, while the tribe was encamped along The Smoky Hill River.
