Getting back to the original post for this thread, there are lots of weblinks for the Buffalo's Bill's shows in Salford and the Salford Sioux although some of them are copied from each other. Try these:

And as for the story about the totem pole, I can confirm that it was re-erected a year or so ago

Hi Nick and welcome to RootsChat !

I think the only one we hadn't seen on here already was the last one regarding the Totem pole !!

were you able to go and see it re-erected .... what can you tell us about that ? I'd love to see pictures if you have any !! Cheesy

Hi Annie and thanks for the welcome,

I didn't see the pole being erected myself but a friend of mine is the historic buildings officer for Salford Council who oversaw the event. I'll see what I can find out about it and see if he has any pictures, I'm sure he will. Also, another friend told me recently that one of his relations worked on the liners that went direct from Manchester Docks at Salford, down the Manchester Ship Canal, straight across the Atlantic and up the Hudson River - quite amazing really. Are you still based in Liverpool or somewhere across the pond?

Plenty of stamina as it's Friday evening and I'm still at work, but I'll be leaving in half an hour so I'll be logging on from home later. However there is a picture of the pole before it was re-erected, at http://www.bbc.co.uk/manchester/content/articles/2007/01/03/030107_totem_home_feature.shtml

Interesting that the spirituality can be felt !! .... Canadian Indians are special too ... maybe you should start another thread Nick on the Canadian board .... you may find more history

Ooh, trying to get rid of me already? Wink

Maybe I shouldn't admit to this but I work just over the road from the Salford Local History Library, in fact I was in there a couple of hours ago doing some research for an article I'm editing in wikipedia. So I could see if they've got any more photos of the wild west show - although I suspect if they had they would have turned up on the web already.
