Talk:Kea Tawana

Question about early years
The article currently states that Tawana was born in Japan, but her obituary indicates that she was born on an Indian reservation. This blog post suggests that accounts of her early years in Japan rely only on her personal testimony, and the claim in that post that her father (apparently an American national) and brother were confined to some barbed wire encircled camp near San Diego following the war (complete with armed guards) come across as dubious to me. Unless there is some sort of evidence that clearly supports her birth in Japan, the article should at the very least point out the conflict with the obituary. &mdash; Myasuda (talk) 21:57, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree and had similar questions. I noticed the conflict in the obituary, too. The article based on an interview with her (available through JSTOR and cited here) also relied on her testimony about her past in Japan. That said that her father married again, but was killed in California.Parkwells (talk) 00:55, 1 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Added conflicting material from the obituary. An intriguing mystery - a couple of kinds of mixed identity? Parkwells (talk) 18:10, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
