Questions from Europe
« Thread Started on May 12, 2009, 2:13pm »

I have been corresponding with a gentleman who has asked me several questions that I cannot adequately answer. I realize that all of the people he is asking about are not Teton, but this is the only "general" category. I believe he is honestly trying to understand the Indian culture, so please do not be offended by his questions. I have cleaned up his English a bit, but his basic questions are below.

1. I am looking for graves of famous Indian Chiefs. Perhaps you can give me information about where I can find them: White Bull (he was the warrior who killed Custer), Gall, Spotted Tail, Fools Crow and Black Elk (all Sioux).

2. Red Tomahawk was the Indian Policeman who killed Sitting Bull in 1890. Why didn't the Sioux punish him and his family? Do I not understand the Indian culture?

3. Next question is about the battle at the Little Bighorn in 1876. Why did the Indians retreat after the great victory in this battle? Why didn't they wait for the troops of the Generals Terry and Gibbon because they were strong enough the destroy them as well? Do you have an explanation for that?

I referred him to the website for info about the burial locations of Gall and Black Elk. Thanks for any help you can give me with this.

Diane

This is the same person who keeps emailing me.
As I tryed to explain
Red Tomahawk's wife was Red Thunder's daughter
who was Rain-in-the-face neice.
It is family.
White Bull is buried at Cherry Creek as I told him before, gall is buried in Wakpala.

Spotted Tail is buried here on Rosebud, in Rosebud cemetary. He Dog is buried up in Old He Dog past Parmelee.
Fools Crow is buried in Kyle, cemetary out by the tower. Black Elk is buried in Manderson I think by his old cabin? not sure about that one.
