Tebo, Frank: Winnebago (NB)
July 1887-September 1889. Farmer and co-owner of a broom
factory. "Bad reputation."
From Hampton list of Students
Every time I see the Tebo name I think of the most incredible show of honor and respect given to a service man named Sgt John Rice, a winnebago from Nebraska. An incredible soldier, a warrior who lost his life after reenlisting and serving in Korea. His story was international news after the cemetary in Sioux City refused to bury him there on the grounds that he was an indian. His wife, (an incredible woman herself, non-indian) refused to sign a paper denying his indian blood that would have allowed them to bury him there, instead, having already lowered Sgt Rice's body, they brought him up from the grave and forced Mrs Rice to find somewhere else to take him, she took him to the Winnebago reservation until President Truman intervened and brought him and his family to Washington for a burial with full military honors in Arlington National Cemetary.
I remember the Tebo name as a Mr Tebo sat with Sgt Rice's body the entire time cultural tradition required, never having been relieved as there was no one to do so.

Another son, Baptiste, acted as scout for Gen. Sibley during the Indian outbreak of 1862. Mendota at that time was called St. Peters. Nearly all the old French traders married Sioux wives, and the government set apart four hundred and fifty square miles for the benefit of the so called half-breed children. In 1857 these half-breeds received four hundred and eighty acres of land scrip from the government in place of their reserved land, and several old French settlers at Wabasha received scrip for their wives and children. Duncan and Scott Campbell received about twenty-three scrips; Mr. Cratte had nine; Mr. Alexis Baily, seven. The Campbells were men of Scotch parentage, and both were well known at all the different posts and among various tribes. Duncan Campbell was killed in a duel near Mackinac, with one Crawford, a brother of the agent of the Northwest Fur Company. Campbell was an independent trader in opposition to the Northwest Company. Nelson's Landing was a trading post on the Wisconsin side of the river. www.rootsweb.com/~mnwabbio/ch9.htm |

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 |
