Wamditanka 1827 - 1894. 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, he was born in 1827 at the Indian village near the site of Mendota, Dakota county, Minnesota., 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, Minnesota. His band consisted of about 150 to 200 persons, including about 40 warriors. Soon after the battle of Birch Coolie, Minnesota, in 1862, Wamditanka and his band, with others, surrendered to General 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. link below- www.axel-jacob.de/no_photos02.html |

Tamaha (One Eye) ( Tribe : Mdewakanton Sioux ) c. 1776-1860. Born near Winona, Minnesota, Tamaha lost an eye in an accident as a child so the French called him "Le Borgne", or "One Eye." The English picked up the name as "the One-eyed Sioux." In 1806 and 1807, Tamaha became a friend of U.S. Army lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike and was one of the very few Sioux leaders who supported the United States in the War of 1812. He retained his loyalty even after his capture by the British, during which he refused to divulge information about the Americans on pain of death (a threat which turned out to be a bluff). Tamaha was known as a powerful orator and a diplomat of unusual ability. Wearing his trademark stovepipe hat, he managed to maintain anicable relations between whites and Indians until his death at age eighty-five in Wabasha, Minnesota, two years before the peace was shattered in 1862 by the Great Sioux Uprising. link below- www.axel-jacob.de/no_photos05.html#tamaha |

Wapasha ( Tribe : Mdewakanton Sioux ) c.1718-1806. Wapasha, or "Red Leaf," was the name of several important Mdewakanton Sioux chiefs between roughly 1750 and 1870. The eldest known to the historical record was born about 1718 in present-day Minnesota. As a chief, he spent much of his time making war or negotiating peace with the Chippewas. Later in his life, Wapasha made contact with the English, who withdrew trading relations after the murder of a merchant. Wapasha captured the culprit and set off to deliver him to his accusers. The man escaped, but Wapasha offered himself in his place. The English refused that offer but made an ally. He died near Hokah, Minnesota. c.1763-1836. Son of the elder Wapasha, the younger leader was born in Winona, Minnesota. He met Zebulon Pike's 1805 expedition in search of the Mississippi River's source. He was generally an ally of immigrating Americans, and while the British claimed his loyalty in the War of 1812, Wapasha was regarded as suspect to the point of court-martial. He died of smallpox and was succeeded by his brother (some accounts say nephew), Joseph Wapasha. c.1825-1876. Joseph Wapasha became the Mdewakanton Sioux's principal chief in the mid-nineteenth century. He continued the accommodationist policies of his two forebears of the same name. By the 1840s, however, white immigration in Minnesota had reached unprecedented levels, and friendliness was becoming more difficult to maintain without abject surender. Wapasha reluctantly surrendered to pressure to join in the Great Sioux Uprising that began in 1862 under Little Crow. He and his people did their best to stay out of the hostilities, but after the war they were caught in the colonists' general fervor to rid the state of all Indians. Vigilantes drove Wapasha and his people to a reservation on the upper Missouri. They later moved to the Santee Agency in Nebraska, where Joseph Wapasha died. link below- www.axel-jacob.de/no_photos05.html#wapasha |

Waneta ('The Charger') A Yanktonai Sioux of the Pabaksa or Cuthead band, son of Shappa or Red Thunder. Born on Elm River in the present Brown County, South Dakota about 1795. He enlisted with his father in the English service in the War of 1812, and fought valiantly at Ft. Meigs and Sandusky, winning his name by his bravery in charging the Americans in the open, and being seriously wounded in the battle at the latter place. After the war he was given a captain's commission by the British, and visited England. He continued to sympathize with the British until 1820, when he attempted to destroy Ft. Snelling by stealth, but being thwarted in his enterprise by Col. Snelling, he afterward heartily supported American interests. Waneta was a dominate chief of the Sioux and exceedingly active in his operations. He signed the treaty of trade and intercourse at Ft. Pierre, July5, 1825 and on Aug. 17 of the same year signed the treaty of Prairie du Chien which fixed the boundaries of the Sioux territory. He died in 1848 at the mouth of the Warreconne, the present Beaver Creek, Emmons County, North Dakota. His name is variously spelled as Wahnaataa, Wanota, and Wawnahton. link below- www.axel-jacob.de/no_photos06.html#waneta |
