... that Goro Takahashi, a Japanese silversmith adopted by a Lakota family, was the first Japanese person allowed to attend a Sun Dance?

Source: "In 1979, he underwent the Lakota's sacred "Sundance" ceremony, becoming the first Japanese person to join the ranks of Native Americans." Source: jp:https://www.esquire.com/jp/mensclub/mensclub-fashion/a46294545/goros-part5-20240106/

Overall: WOW. There is a lot that is honestly blurbable here, including him being the first Native American silversmith in Japan, the Buddhist priest compelling him to continue his work, and even more. Wonderful work on this article Sonovawolf! There's a lot to work with here frankly. The most glaring issue I see at the moment is that the "In 1972...", "In return, Goro bartered...", and "In 1967..." portions are currently unsourced. It's new enough, long enough, and neutral. I'll try and run it through Earwig once I resolve some issues with it. In the meantime, I would advise that you address the concerns above when available!
