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. link below- Theophile Bruguier 1813-1896 link below- www.clark.sioux-city.k12.ia.us/History/People/Bruguier.htm |

Little Hawk (Lakota: Chetan-chikala), (1836-1895), Oglala Lakota War Chief and a half brother of Worm, father of Crazy Horse (Lakota: Tashunka-witko). In the Lakota extended family scheme, Crazy Horse was thus a 'son' of Little Hawk. Crazy Horse had a younger half-brother called Little Hawk as the namesake of their uncle. The elder Little Hawk took the name Long Face after bestowing his on his nephew, but when the half-brother was killed in battle in 1871, he resumed the use of his original name. This naming custom sometimes leads to confusion in attributing deeds to family members bearing the same name and living in the same time frame. According to General George Crook notes, Little Hawk "..appeared to rank next to Crazy Horse in importance, was much like his superior in size and build, but his face was more kindly in expression and he more fluent in speech; he did most of the talking." link below- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Hawk |

Black Buffalo Woman From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Black Buffalo Woman was the first wife of Crazy Horse, whom she had known since childhood. She was the daughter of Red Cloud's brother, and was the first cousin of He Dog and Red Heart Bull. Though she was already married to a man named No Water, she married Crazy Horse in 1870 anyway as Lakota were allowed to divorce their husbands at any time for any reason. Despite this, No Water was enraged by his wife's elopement. She and Crazy Horse had gone on a buffalo hunt in the Slim Buttes area of what is today Northwestern South Dakota. When No Water arrived he looked for Crazy Horse's tent. When he found it he called out to Crazy Horse. When Crazy Horse answered he pointed a pistol at his heart. Touch The Cloud was sitting by the door and deflected the gun so it missed Crazy Horse's heart and hit him in the upper jaw. He took off and rode his horse to death as Crazy Horse's relatives pursued. However he made it back to his own camp and safety. The elders intervened in the feud and convinced Crazy Horse and No Water to stop, and ordered No Water to Crazy Horse three horses as compensation for his wound. Black Buffalo Woman eventually returned to No Water, likely in order to avoid further conflict. She and No Water are known to have had at least two children together. As a result of this incident, Crazy Horse lost his title of Shirt Wearer (leader) among the Lakota. link below- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Buffalo_Woman |

Black Shawl was the second wife of Crazy Horse, whom she married in 1871. She had a daughter by the same year, whose name was They Are Afraid of Her. They Are Afraid of Her died at age three, likely of cholera. Black Shawl also suffered the same disease, and was treated by Dr. Valentine McGillycuddy. She was the sister of Red Feather, and died in 1920. link below- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Shawl |

Spotted Tail From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sinte Gleska (Spotted Tail) was a Brulé Lakota tribal chief. Although a great warrior in his youth, he declined to participate in Red Cloud's War[1], having become convinced of the pointlessness of opposing the white incursions into his beloved homeland; he became a statesman, speaking for peace and defending the rights of his tribe. In 1871, he visited Washington D.C., to meet Commissioner of Indian Affairs Ely S. Parker and President Ulysses Grant; there he met with rival Red Cloud and agreed to work together. He was a contemporary of Crazy Horse, and his sisters Iron Between Horns and Kills Enemy were said to have married Crazy Horse's widowed father. He was described as being born either in 1823 or 1833. In 1881, following the Black Hills War, Spotted Tail was killed by Crow Dog for reasons that may be disputed. According to historian Dee Brown: "White officials ... dismissed the killing as the culmination of a quarrel over a woman, but Spotted Tail's friends said that it was the result of a plot to break the power of the chiefs...".[1] He is buried in Rosebud, South Dakota.[2] link below- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotted_Tail |

Princess Winona From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Princess Winona is the central figure in the "Lover's Leap" Native American (Mdewakanton Dakota) legend concerning Maiden Rock on the Wisconsin side of Lake Pepin (a widening in the Upper Mississippi River). There are several variations of the story. Her father is generally said to be Chief Red Wing of what is now Red Wing Minnesota or Chief Wabasha (Wapasha) of a village identified as Keoxa, now known as Winona, Minnesota. Rather than marry a suitor she does not love, she chooses to leap from the cliff of Maiden Rock to her death. Who the suitor is depends on the version of the tale. The name "Winona" means "first-born daughter" in Dakota language (Eastern Sioux). It is a very common word and phrase and towns named Winona can be found throughout the United States. The concept of the central figure as a "princess" is in keeping with a stereotype about Native American "princesses." The Dakota did not have a concept of royalty. Winona, Minnesota is associated with the legend because it was formerly the site of Keoxa, and in era of the white settlement she has been used as a symbol in Watkins Incorporated advertising, a prominent statue (currently located by Huff St. between 5th and 6th Streets after being located in other city parks), stained glass depiction, and elsewhere. While the Upper Mississippi version of the legend is the most prominent, there are sites with variations on this legend. Mark Twain in Life on the Mississippi writes: "There are fifty Lover's Leaps along the Mississippi from whose summit disappointed Indian girls have jumped." Other locations with the legend also include Winona Falls in Pennsylvania, Camden County, Missouri and Cameron Park in Waco, Texas. Maiden Rock [edit] The legend of Princess Winona and Maiden Rock in literature The journals of Zebulon Pike (1805) contain a brief mention of the legend; the earliest instance of it being recorded and mentioned. "Dahcotah, or, Life and Legends of the Sioux Around Fort Snelling" (1849) by Mary Eastman (chapter "The Maiden's Rock, or, Wenona's Leap") Legends of the Northwest by Hanford Lennox Gordon (1826-1920) contains a lengthy poetic version of this story, entitled "Winona, a Legend of the Dakotas" Mark Twain describes a version of the legend in Life on the Mississippi Emilio DeGrazia, a professor of Winona State University, and a published author, wrote a short play about her life entitled "Winona: A Romantic Tragedy". This play has been performed on stage, and is also published in book form link below- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Winona |
