QUESTIONABLE
89A OGLALA? and 89D OYS ?
CORRECTIONS
After checking on Google: 102A _______ avis should be: RARA rara avis n., pl. ra·ra a·vis·es or ra·rae a·ves (râr'ē ā'vēz). "A rare or unique person or thing," and 93D French river should be: GARONNE
Noted by "smartiepants1": "63A "Islamic Prayer Leader" should be IMAM, which then gives you IMRE for 63D "Nagy of Hungary," and 66A "Kernel's Coat" is TESTA, which gives you PORTE for 46A "___-cochere (sheltered entrance)".

Hi,
I am pretty sure that 63A "Islamic Prayer Leader" should be IMAM, which then gives you IMRE for 63D "Nagy of Hungary".
Also, 66A "Kernel's Coat" is TESTA, which gives you PORTE for 46A "___-cochere (sheltered entrance)".
I did not know the word OGLALA, but have heard of "Oy!" as a "distressed exclamation". According to the OED, OGLALA is "of or relating to the Lakota people" where LAKOTA is another term for the Teton Sioux people.
This puzzle was really tough! In case you are interested, here is another blog I quite like for checking answers to these crosswords: http://crosswordcorner.blogspot.com/
