Hold up.

Please research Olive Oatman before you post this as a joke or a flippant response.

I think the picture you posted is Olive Oatman, who survived the massacre of her family in Arizona, and was enslaved by the local tribes. They identified their slaves with the facial tattoo.

He brother was left for dead, but managed to survive. He never forgot his missing little sisters, and when he was able to gather enough funds, he started searching for them. Eventually he succeeded, but only Olive had survived the horrible treatment, near starvation and multiple rapes.

As I recall, seven of the family of ten were killed on the spot.

The father said they didn't need a gun, because if they treated the Indians well, they would not be attacked.
