From Jim Garrison’s article:
”The Winema Theatre was named for a Modoc Indian woman, who also went by the name Toby Riddle. Toby “Winema” Riddle served as an interpreter and worked for peace in negotiations between the Modoc trip and Federal troops during the Modoc War.” Photo is from the Smithsonian COllection website.
