Pow-Wow Smith
Pow-Wow Smith is a comic book character that first appeared in Detective Comics #151
Pow-wow Smith is an expert marksman with both gun and bow. He is also a superior horseman and has expert tracking abilities.
During the 1880's, Sioux Indian brave Ohiyesa left Red Deer Valley to learn more about the world of the White Man. His expert skills at tracking and handling a gun enabled him to win a job as a deputy sherrif. Sometime later, he won the job of Sherrif in the town of Elkhorn and chose Hank Brown as his deputy.
While he was still a deputy, Ohiyesa was given the name Pow-wow Smith by some townspeople. Though he used his Indian name with the tribe, he eventualy began to call himself Pow-wow when among white men.
Once he became Sherrif, Pow-wow spent most of his time living in Elkhorn, only rarely returning to Red Deer Valley. Fleetfoot, and Indian maiden and daughter of Chief Thundercloud, set out to win Pow-Wow's love. She aided him in a number of battles with lawbreakers and eventually they became engaged and married.
In the present day, a descendant of Ohiyesa was named after his famous ancestor. This Ohiyesa attended college in the East, then returned to Red Deer Valley, seeking to bring his tribe into the 20th /21st Centuries. He also became a lawman and took the name Pow-Wow Smith in honour of his ancestor, but he remained in Red Deer Valley.
