I read that Richard Blue Earth from Standing Rock was the first man to enlist in the U.S. Army for WWI and that the following men were the original 14 that enlisted;
Albert Grass Ed Two Horses John Brave Bull Alphonse Bear Ghost James Two Dog Yellow Fat Francis Zahn Joe Young Hawk Milan White Eagle Bernie Mulhern Lean Elk Ben Gray Hawk Charlie Little Chief
Questions: #1) is it true that these men legally were not United States citizens at time of enlistment and that only after of those that returned home were granted citizenship? #2) is it true that in June of 1924, only then all enrolled at Standing Rock were granted citizenship? or was it through out the U.S.?
#3) Does anybody know if the following men from Standing Rock? [ all i know is that they were documented as WWI soldiers, but don't know where they are from]
Star Struck by the Ree II George Hopkins Joseph Jordan Jacob Douglas

Citizenship was granted to some people in ceremonies in 1916 I think on Standing Rock. Frank Fiske Josephine Waggoner and her daughter Daphne were made citizens in this way.

This photograph by Dixon was taken in 1913 during the Wannamaker (department store owner) Expedition. The photo shows the last arrow bring shot as they pledge allegiance to the USA.

Hi Louis and LaDonna It certainly looks like one of those Wannemaker "rituals"---do you have a clear source for thinking it is? But here's stuff about the 1916 citizenship stuff on Standing Rock Here's where I first saw th photograph (then ordered the image from ND state hist society): That's the Bismarck Tribune And here's an article from the Corson Co News in 1972 reprinting an article from the McLaughlin Mirror (June 1916): LaDonna this gives a list of the McL people but not those who did it at Fort Yates (the article says it "may be incorrect in a few instances") Handwriting on the side is Josephine Waggoner's daughter, Daphne. (She is incorrect in saying Josephine was born at Fort Yates. She was born in her unci's tipi near the Grand River agency. and finally here's the Dept of Interior citizenship ritual text:

All the Dixon / Wanamaker photographs are housed in the Library at the University of Indiana, Blooming ton. You can order from them.
The itinerary of the expedition in North Dakota can be found in the James McLaughlin Papers located in the Heritage Center, State Historical Society, Bismarck, ND. The collection is on microfilm.

When my great grandmother accepted her 160 acres of land in 1891, citizenship came along with that deal.

This is a photo of the Yanktonai Dakota man from the Standing Rock Reservation known as Cpl. Alphonse F. Bear Ghost, (later the husband of Alma Red Ears), taken by Joseph K. Dixon at the U.S. Army's Camp Merritt, New Jersey in September of 1919, shortly after returning from serving in France during World War I. While in France, Alphonse F. Bear Ghost was promoted to a Corporal in Company M, 26th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division. In addition, Cpl. Bear Ghost was wounded in his left arm, at the Battle of the Argonne Forrest, after which he was awarded the Citation Star for gallantry in combat with an enemy force. {Note: On 19 July 1932, the United States Secretary of War approved the Silver Star Medal to replace all of the previously awarded Citation Star, which was a Silver device pinned to the ribbon suspended from the World War I Victory Medal.}

My grandfather, Robert Edward Howard, a Yankton/Standing Rock member, also fought at the Battle of Argonne, losing an eye and receiving a Purple Heart. I wonder if they met. (see post, more Standing Rock Soldiers WWI).
