Little Crow was born Tayoyateduta (His Red Nation) in ca. 1810 in the Mdewakanton Dakota village of Kaposia. He was the first son of the chief, Wakenyantanka (Big Thunder), and his wife Minneakadawin (Woman Planting in Water) and the grandson of Chetanwakuamani, who was noted in history for signing the Zebulon Pike treaty of 1805. Little Crow grew to be a very ambitious man, and one without physical fear. He acquired a reputation of being a brave warrior. During these years, he also learned to read and write English. When his father accidentally shot and killed himself in 1846, Little Crow became the chief of his tribe. Two of his half-brothers attempted to assassinate him shortly thereafter, but only succeeded in wounding him. Little Crow banished them, and when they returned, had them executed link below- www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/history/mncultures/littlecrow.html |

Hole in the Day (Bugonaygeeshig) Bug-O-Nay-Geeshig, II was a famous chieftain son of a famous father-warrior. Here is a short biographical sketch of his life, by Minnesota Wahpetonwan Dakota Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), written in 1916. The name is so highly regarded among Minnesota Ojibwe people that it now serves as a title -- elders get together and decide who should carry this name. It is presently held by a man who leads the Sandy Lake Band Link below- www.kstrom.net/isk/maps/mn/casslake.htm |

Spotted Tail (Sinte Gleska) 1823-1881 Spotted Tail (Sinte Gleska), a Brule Sioux, attained chieftainship by proving his prowess in battle. He worked hard to keep his people together after the signing of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 and the band's relocation to Whetstone Agency in Dakota Territory. A skilled negotiator, Spotted Tail visited Black Hills mining camps after the discovery of gold to learn the value of the mineral, which resulted in the Indian demand of $60 million for the sale of the hills. During the Sioux War of 1876-1877, Spotted Tail and his people remained on the reservation, and the chief used his influence to persuade government officials to make the inevitable cultural changes as gradual as possible. A more detailed profile is printed in Volume 5 Number 3 of South Dakota History, the journal of the South Dakota State Historical Society. link below- www.sdhistory.org/rp/dp/dp_spottedtail.htm |

Gabriel Renville 1824-1892 Gabriel Renville, head chief of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux, served as chief of scouts with General Sibley's 1863-1865 expedition against the hostile Sioux. The War Department appointed Renville as head chief of the Sisseton-Wahpeton tribe in 1866. The following year, after Lake Traverse Reservation was established, his people elected him head chief for life. At Fort Wadsworth, he became a diligent farmer as well as chief of scouts. Renville helped his people make the transition to reservation living without forsaking all cultural traditions. Indians and non-Indians alike respected him for his great mental force and integrity. link below- www.sdhistory.org/rp/dp/dp_renville.htm |

BEN "Nighthorse" CAMPBELL One young recruit who joined the military during the Korean conflict was Ben Nighthorse Campbell, a Cheyenne, who, in 1987, became the first American Indian to serve in Congress since 1929. The 18-year-old Campbell joined the Air Force in 1951. He was transferred to an Air Force police unit and shipped to Korea. Campbell never saw combat first-hand, but he vividly remembers the horrors he saw there, especially the suffering of Korean children. But Campbell also recalls the benefits of service in the military, writing, "There was a camaraderie [in the Air Force] that transcends ethnicity when you serve your country overseas in wartime." Campbell was elected to the Colorado State Legislature in November 1982 and from there went to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served from 1987 through 1992. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992. Biography: Senator Ben N. Campbell Source: United States of America Korean War Commemoration link below- alt.defenselink.mil/specials/americanindian/honor.html |
