("Mildred Cleghorn" ...On the Passing of Elders ) (Retrieved 4 July 06)〕 Mildred Imoch Cleghorn, whose Apache names were ''Eh-Ohn'' and ''Lay-a-Bet'', was one of the last Chiricahua Apaches born under a "prisoner of war" status.

Mildred Cleghorn did not live to see the results of the lawsuit, which became known as Cobell v. Salazar. It was settled for $3.4 billion in 2009, in the Indians' favor, a week after what would have been Mildred Cleghorn's 99th birthday. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mildred Cleghorn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
