Tom Quirk once pointed out to me that it's a Pai-ute in Extracts from Captain Stormfield's Visit to Heaven who's guarding the gates.

Subject: Mark Twain and the Native American
I noted in my message earlier, regarding Twain and the Goshoots, his
dislike for these people. I've been searching for any mention of where
he might have repented his racism. It would seem inconsistent with his
later held views on Imperialism. I've also noted in a review of one of
Val Kilmer's performances an appreciation for the Oglala Sioux. Can
this be documented in any of his writings?
