Struck By The Ree 1804-1888 Struck by the Ree, who would become a principal chief of the Yankton Sioux, was born in August 1804, the same week that Lewis and Clark passed through his village. It is said that Lewis swaddled the young man in a U.S. flag and baptized him as an American. Later, he earned his adult name in combat with the Arikas, who were also called "Rees". In 1837, Struck by the Ree visited Washington, D.C., on behalf of his people. During the 1862 Great Sioux Uprising in Minnesota, Struck by the Ree positioned his warriors to protect innocent white settlers from raiding Indians. Regardless of their aid, his people were run out of Minnesota with other Native peoples after the uprising. In 1865, Struck by the Ree testified at hearings of the Doolittle Commission, which was looking into fraud among Indian agents. He told the hearing commissioners that Indian agents routinely siphoned goods from stockpiles purchased with Indian annuity money and that Native people were often forced to pay for meals prepared with their treaty money, while agents ate for free. Agents routinely paid themselves out of money meant to buy supplies for Indians under treaty agreements. He said that it was also common for frontier soldiers to routinely force sexual favors from Indian woman. He took a stand against the corrupt officials.

Moses In 1896 Moses went to school in Rapid City. He and his parents received their allotments along the Cheyenne River, up to where the present new housing is. In 1905, his sister Mary was born. She married Henry Red (Breath) Bear and had one surviving daughter. Mary died before 1951. Bessie Afraid of Lightning (1908-1929) married William War Bonnet and had three daughters: Josephine, Dollie Inamongst, and Goldie Iron Hawk. Two other daughters were born to James and Sarah Afraid of Lightning; Lillian (1913-1933) and Louise (1914-1915). Moses Circle Bear/Afraid of Lightning told the following, "When I was a young boy, I was at Cheyenne Agency Boarding School. That was in the time when that big epidemic of smallpox spread among the whole Cheyenne Reservation, so we all have to stay away from all the towns and everything, even the churches. We didn't go there for quite awhile, then that summer, and that spring there was a call for school at Rapid City Indian School. There was a bunch of us Indian boys from this district, they took us to Rapid City Indian School. LINK BELOW- ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sd/ziebach/history/chap16-1.txt |
