Description
The good news: Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance pens an autobiography about life as an American Plains Indian, quickly gains popularity, becomes a silent film star, and uses his celebrity to promote American Indian causes. The bad news: He made it all up. He was born Sylvester Long in North Carolina, having mixed race ancestry and, arguably, lived a more interesting life than what he claimed. In this episode, KY tells the gang Long Lance's tall tales.
