on 2015-Nov-04 22:29:25 Ernest Desiderio said My grandmothers maiden name was Mable Mariano, I understand her late father was the one of the first lawman within the Eastern Agency rode around on horse back, with a Navajo name "Tall Slender Policeman" can't spell it in the Navajo language. From what I was told he was a son or grandson of Chief Mariano. Would love to know more but that's all we know.
