War Eagle
1785?-1851

Friend of the White Man

Wambdi Okicize is commonly known to white people as War Eagle. He was born in either Wisconsin or Minnesota around 1785. His Indian name means "Little Eagle" but whites always referred to him as War Eagle. This is odd because all through his life War Eagle sought to keep peace. He even left his home tribe the Isanti (sometimes referred to as Santee) to avoid a battle as to who was to become chief.
He had many jobs working for the white man. He served as a riverboat guide or pilot on the upper Mississippi, he worked for the American Fur Company delivering messages, and during the War of 1812 he carried messages for the government. Having spent all this time with the whites greatly affected his view toward these people. He saw them as friends rather than enemies
After marrying Mazakirawin in Minnesota, he was adopted into the Ihanktonwan or Yankton Sioux around 1830. War Eagle and his wife had seven children, four girls and three boys.
One of the things War Eagle was most proud of was a silver medal he received from the President of the United States, Martin Van Buren in 1837. His family still proudly displays this medal. By this time he had been elected chief of the tribe and been invited to travel to Washington, D.C. with other tribal leaders from around the nation to negotiate peace treaties.
War Eagle was related to the commander of the Vermillion trading fort, William thingyson. Mr. thingyson had married a cousin of War Eagle. War Eagle also had two of his daughters, Dawn and Blazing Cloud marry Theopile Bruguier. Bruguier has been accepted into the Yankton tribe and traveled with War Eagle's band for several years. He told War Eagle of a dream he had of a beautiful place where two rivers joined together. War Eagle told Bruguier he had been to that place and would show it to him.
Bruguier claimed the land at the confluence of the Sioux and the Missouri river. Here in 1849, he built a cabin and with his two wives began to homestead the land and trade with the Indians. War Eagle and his band visited the area often and stayed in teepees and log cabins located on the property.
In the fall of 1851 War Eagle died. He was buried on top of a bluff overlooking the Missouri River Valley. A long with War Eagle his two daughters Dawn and Blazing Cloud, and several others including grandchildren were buried on this bluff. Today the bluff is part of War Eagle Park and the monument pictured honors the great chief.

War Eagle is best remembered as a person who believed in peace and worked his whole life toward that goal. Because of his leadership among the tribes, the Indians and the whites learned to work together without having to resort to violence.

Chief Joseph"
Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt
(1840-1904)

The man who became a national celebrity with the name "Chief Joseph" was born in the Wallowa Valley in what is now northeastern Oregon in 1840. He was given the name Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt, or Thunder Rolling Down the Mountain, but was widely known as Joseph, or Joseph the Younger, because his father had taken the Christian name Joseph when he was baptized at the Lapwai mission by Henry Spalding in 1838.

Wamditanka

'Great war eagle'

Big Eagle - commonly called Big Eagle

Jerome Big Eagle - sometimes known as Jerome Big Eagle.


Wamditanka ('Great war eagle'). A chief of one of the bands of Mdewakanton Sioux at the time of the Sioux uprising in 1862; commonly called Big Eagle, and sometimes known as Jerome Big Eagle. According to his personal narrative, recorded by R. L. Holcombe (Minn. Hist. Soc. Coll., vi, pt. 3, 382-400, 1894), he was born in 1827 at the Indian village near the site of Mendota, Dakota county, Minn., and on the death of his father, Gray Iron, succeeded him as chief. In his youth he often went with war parties against the Chippewa and other enemies of his tribe, and on occasion wore a headdress with six feathers representing as many Chippewa scalps taken by him. Although Wamditanka took part with the Sioux in the uprising of 1862, he claims that he did not participate in the massacres of the settlers, but even used his influence, in some instances, to save from death both whites and converted mixed-bloods. The evidence shows this claim to be substantially correct, and that he was perhaps pressed into the war by his people. At this time his village was on Crow creek, in McLeod county, Minn. His band consisted of about 150 to 200 persons, including about 40 warriors. Soon after the battle of Birch Coolie, Minn., in 1862, Wamditanka and his band, with others, surrendered to Gen. Sibley. He was tried, convicted, and sentenced to three years imprisonment, part of the time at Davenport, Iowa, the remainder at Rock Island, Ill. After his discharge he was converted to Christianity. He was twice married; his second wife was still alive in 1894, at which time his home was at Granite Falls, Yellow Medicine county, Minn. He visited Washington with a delegation of his tribe in 1858, and was one of the signers of the treaty with the Sioux negotiated June 19 of that year.

Duncan, Nancy & David (b.abt.1839).

Colin Campbell:
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & a Dakota woman and married a Dakota woman. Colin was a young Lieutenant in British militia during the War of 1812 when Mj.Zachary Taylor brought an American force north from St.Louis in an attempt to retake Prairie du Chien from British & Dakota warrior hands. Capt.Duncan Graham who lead the defense of the trading center, praised Colin, Lt.Michael Brisbois & Sergeant James Keating for their efforts in Taylor's failed effort. In September of 1820 Colin was sent to the Sisseton near the Blue Earth River to bring in the murders of two of Manuel Lisa's men. He brought back to recently built Fort Snelling a Sisseton War Chief who claimed responsibility for the deaths. In 1821 & 1823 Colin was interpreting at councils held by Taliaferro at Ft.Snelling between the Dakota & visiting Ojibwe. By 1855 he is near the mouth of the Platte River.

Duncan Campbell: (bef.1802-?)
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & a Dakota woman and married a Dakota woman (Therese). His children were: Nancy (b.1816/20; m.1st.Alfred Hudson & 2nd.Louis Larocque), Duncan II (b.1816/17; m.Margaret), Mary (b.abt.1818-1844; m.Charles Sweet), Jenny (b.1823/24; m.Oliver Cratte), William (b.1823/25-1855); George (b.1827/32-bef.1855; m.Dakota woman), Madaline (b.abt.1833; m.Philo Stone), Therese (b.1833/35-1855) & Thomas (b.1836/37-1855). Duncan was wintering on the Mississippi River for Michel Cadotte in the 1809-10 season, but the next year trading above Prairie du Chien for James Lockwood (American Fur Co.). In the early 1820's he was trading on the Minnesota River and acting as interpreter for Taliaferro but by 1826 is found trading at Ft.Barbour at the St.Croix Falls. In 1837 he was part of a delegation that accompanied the Dakota to Washington D.C., other interpreters included Scott Campbell, Augustin Rocque, Peter Quinn & Alexander Faribault. Ducan was back in 1838 where the Iowa Territory Census taker found him living in Clayton Co., north of the Root River.

Scott Campbell: (1790's-1851)
He was the son of Archibald John Campbell & a Dakota woman and married Margaret Menager. Their children were: Henriette S. (b.1824; m.Benjamin Aitken Dyomme), Scott II (b.abt.1828-1870), Hypolite S.(b.abt.1828), Joseph S.(b.1827/36-1869; m.Mary Ann), John S. (1834-1865; m.Marguerite Lize), Margaret (b.1838; m.Joseph Labathe in 1854), Baptiste S.(b.1838); Marie (b.abt.1839) & Mathias S.
As a boy, Scott was taken back east by Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis & Clark expedition) on his return from his western journey. When Lewis died in 1809 under mysterious circumstances he returned to family in the Upper Mississippi. He was licensed to trade above Prairie du Chien for James Lockwood in the 1819-20 season. In 1834 he was Indian agent Taliaferro's Dakota interpreter at Fort Snelling, where he assisted Lt.Edmund A.Ogden in setting the Dakota language on paper. Missionary, Samuel W.Pond credits Scott for his part in the manuscript that Ogden passed on to Samuel & his brother Gideon Pond which was helpful in their work in developing a Dakota dictionary that was finished & published though the efforts of fellow missionary, Stephen R. Riggs. In 1837, Scott was living at the St.Peters settlement, near the mouth of the Minnesota River, going to Washington D.C. as the Dakota interpreter for a treaty. In 1843 he bought a claim from Denis Cherrier for $300. which he sold to William Hartshorn in 1848. Pond wrote of Scott, "Mr.Campbell was, in his general deportment, very mild, quiet and gentlemanly, always ready to smoke or chat with white men or Indians, carefully avoiding all harsh language and disagreeable topics; but he had a fiery temper which sometimes broke through the smooth external covering in such ebullitions of passion as we might expect from one in whom were mingled the Scotch and Dakota blood. He was skillful as an interpreter, and perhaps more skillful as a mis-interpreter...He told what he thought the speaker should have said rather that what he did say, and frequently a good understanding seemed to have been restored, simply because there had been no understanding at all."

Pond wrote of Scott, "Mr.Campbell was, in his general deportment, very mild, quiet and gentlemanly, always ready to smoke or chat with white men or Indians, carefully avoiding all harsh language and disagreeable topics; but he had a fiery temper which sometimes broke through the smooth external covering in such ebullitions of passion as we might expect from one in whom were mingled the Scotch and Dakota blood. He was skillful as an interpreter, and perhaps more skillful as a mis-interpreter...He told what he thought the speaker should have said rather that what he did say, and frequently a good understanding seemed to have been restored, simply because there had been no understanding at all."
