The government planned to send the imprisoned Dakota to a new and desolate reservation. It was far away, at Crow Creek in the Dakota territories. Bishop Whipple knew Taopi should not be sent away with other Dakota. Many were angry at him. They would kill him. So Whipple asked Sibley to permit Taopi and a few others to stay in Minnesota. He also asked Alexander Faribault to let them to live on his land. Everyone agreed. A start point on the families that stayed on his land might be: Dakota Commemorative March 2003 site dakota-march.50megs.com/prisonersnames.htmlFort Snelling Concentration Camp Dakota Prisoners 1862-63 Heads of families and number of family members as compiled by the U.S. Army on December 2, 1862 |

Fort Marion Prisoners, 1875-1878 INTRODUCTION: This web page is linked to a series of pages borne out of a project conceived of and implemented by John L. Sipes, Jr. for the Ft. Marion Prisoner Descendants Reunion Project. The prisoner names on this list are taken from Richard Henry Pratt's biography, Battlefield and Classroom. Sources for the links are compiled from John Sipes' personal files, many from the Sipes/Berthrong collections, Barbara Landis' newspaper transcript collections, Joy Fisher's transcribed US Senate booklet dated Feb.1891 listing Indians sent to Hampton - Apr. 1878 through Oct. 1890, Jackie Fear-Segal's research based on information found in Karen Peterson's Plains Indian Art from Ft. Marion, and Genevieve Bell's database gleaned out of the National Archives (NARA) Record Group 75/File 1327 Carlisle Indian School Student Folders. Specific materials have been posted here or linked to the Carlisle student name lists and their biographical links. The material is referenced from: John Sipes Cheyenne Collection Donald J. Berthrong Collection Ruby Bushyhead Collection Oklahoma Historical Society Archives and Manuscripts National Archives Western History Collections, University of Oklahoma Standing Bird/Medicine Water FamilyOral History Collections Sipes Collection. Below the Ft. Marion Prisoner names are the lists of the Carlisle Indian School students from the Cheyenne and Arapaho Agencies, many of whom are relations of the Ft. Marion Prisoners.
