Perhaps a starting place for learning about American Indians in World War I is this article from Kansas History:  A Journal of the Central Plains.  Included in the Summer 2001 issue (Vol. 24, No. 2) is the article, “‘How Cola’ From Camp Funston:  American Indians and the Great War,” written by Bonnie Lynn-Sherow and Susannah Ural Bruce.
