TLDR; sorry the only thing that sticks out to me, and maybe this is a bit too nit picky.
Ojibwe is a far north, beyond Canada border, south of the border is Chippewa.
I mention this because I was screamed at by intermingling the two in discussion, by a Chippewa. Now on the other hand, my other relative used Chippewa (chippy) as a disparaging term, she was Ojibwe farther north than modern sources say. I can only imagine paddling canoes over that expansive waterway. That grandma considered herself and us, British Royals lol. When I think of her, I always giggle a bit thinking her school masters taught her she was now a British Royal subject. It’s always context when dealing with this.
I hope this helps anyone, it helped me typing it.

I can't say much about Oregon,  but I have spent time on the Yakama Nation rez and they had longhouses similar to the first pic. The only one I actually remember going to was the Satus longhouse. I live in the Puget Sound area of Washington and a lot of tribes have built longhouses.  These are similar to some on Vancouver Island where they are called "Big Houses."

Below is a list, generation by generation, of Leah Hanson Yellowbird's ancestors. I'm not planning to add records to the thread at this time but have reviewed publicly available information for each of the individuals listed below. I've gone back as far as necessary to, in my opinion, disprove Leah's specific claims of holding a Canadian Indian status card and being "part Lebanese." I compiled the list quickly from a family tree so please let me know if you see any errors.
