Studies in American Indian Literatures 17.2 (2005) 10-17 _________________________________________________________________ [Access article in PDF] Eastman's Maternal Ancestry Letter from Charles Alexander Eastman to H. M. Hitchthingy, September 8, 1927 A. LaVonne Brown Ruoff The H. M. (Hiram M.) Hitchthingy papers in the Edward E. Ayer Collection contain four letters from Charles Alexander Eastman (Ohiyesa; Santee Dakota, 1858-1939) to Hitchthingy, dated from 1927 to 1935.^1 The most interesting of these letters is that of September 8, 1927, transcribed below.^2 Here Eastman proudly describes his parents' lineages and poignantly expresses his deep sorrow at the death of his mother when he was an infant. Little is known about Hitchthingy, a businessman and historian from Minneapolis, Minnesota. In 1930 he published several articles about early Minnesota history and in 1931 wrote one on Eastman, "An Indian Returns Home."^3 During the early twentieth century, Eastman became one of the most prolific authors and speakers on Sioux ethnohistory and American Indian affairs. Among his most acclaimed and widely read books are Indian Boyhood (1902), Old Indian Days (1907), Soul of the Indian (1911), From the Deep Woods to Civilization (1916), and Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains (1918). In Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa), Raymond Wilson describes him as "the first major Indian author to write Indian history from the Indian perspective."^4 Eastman's mother, named Winona at birth and later Wakantankawin and Mary Nancy Eastman (1830-58), was the daughter of Seth Eastman (1809-75) and Wak inajin win (Mdewakanton Dakota). In 1830 Seth Eastman and Wak inajin win married at Fort Snelling in present-day Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born in New Hampshire, Seth Eastman was a West Point graduate who became a topographical engineer and celebrated painter. [End Page 10] In 1833 he left his family behind after...

I am very interested in finding out who posted this about my Great x4 Grandparents?
"William married Mary Ann "Big Heart" (Taw-a-du-tah) [daughter of Sisseton Chief "Big Heart"] about 1812 on the Upper Mississippi. Their children were: Katherine D. (m.1st.to Mr.Lurty & m.2nd.to Leigh Hadley Irvine in 1848), Elzabeta (b.bef.1822), Barbara (1824-1849) (m.Morre K Lurty in 1843), William J. (1831-1859), Mary (b.bef.1833), Nancy (b.1836), Margaret (b.1838) (m.William Hodges in 1855), Julia Anne (1840-1893) (m.1st.to E.Walter Holbert & 2nd.to J.A.Walker in 1878) & Jane (b.1842)."

We have done a lot of research on Mary Ann. The Indian name (Taw-a-du-tah) doesn't really make sense. Taw- to have, but the rest is a mystery. Also, we've been convinced that she may have been Assiniboine and / or mixed from Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Nations. This is the first time I've seen Sisseton associated with her.

Please let me know where this information was originally published. My email is [e-mail] ...
