Fairly sure this name is in the Pawnee language. <br>
<br>
I doubt, very seriously, that it's Ponca.<br>

<font face="Arial" size="2">I am working on some stuff on Julius
Meyer,
the German Jew in Omaha who claimed to speak six languages and opened
the
Indian goods store on Farnam Street. </font>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">He claimed to have been given and
Indian name,
which he spelled Box ka re sha hash ta ka, which he translated as
“Curly
haired white man with one tongue.” I have two accounts, one that
he got it from the Pawnee and one that he got if from the Ponca. I
asked James Riding In if that name made sense to him: he thought
it more likely that it was “Curly haired white dude who that a buffalo
robe was worth a carton of Marlboros.” It does look like one of
those Pawnee jawbreakers but I thought I would just shoot it across
your
bow for an opinion. </font>
