Albert T. Freeman, also known as Gai-wah-go-wah, who was an award-winning orator as an Indian of the Lakota people in 1917. He was soon a graduate of Depauw University and visible as a Christian and an actor. Around 1920-1924 he was a student at University of Southern California and took up the Chautauqua educational speaker platforms similar to Nipo T. Strongheart of the Yakama Nation. Many of his talks were at Churches though some were at museums but in 1926 on a tour of the West he gave a lecture/performance at the Baháʼí center in Portland Oregon and was then invited from there to present at the Baháʼí national convention. He continued on afterwards in various churches and colleges into the 1930s. Record of his service has been noted in educational materials in recent decades.
