When the Flathead Indian chief introduced Jerimiah Johnson to his daughter, what name to he say she went by. The English version was "Swan", but what was the indian version?
@rogerthomas,
From everything I've seen at Wikipedia and imdb, there is no info on the Indian version of Swan's name.
The character was played by a woman named Delle Bolton.

@Butrflynet,
Here's an interesting blog about Belle. Be sure to read the comments - you may have a way of contacting her to ask her if she knows the Indian name for Swan.
