While doing research on "Black Tomahawk", I found a very good reference with allot of good information. However, some names that I was looking for, do not appear in this reference. I was looking for the name of Black Tomahawk's wife. Although, like I mentioned above, it is still a good reference containing other important names, dates, places, etc.. Unless I have overlooked it, this reference does not give the D.O.B. for, Black Tomahawk.
Here are some notes that I have compiled from this reference:
pg. 28; Tod chouk Pee sappah, Black Tomahawk, signed the treaty with the Yanktonai band of Dakota or Sioux Indians, October 20, 1865 (14 Stat. L., p.736)
April 29, 1868. - Can hpi sa pa, Black Tomahawk, signs Sioux treaty, as a member of Yanktonais band of Sioux (Stat. L., vol. 15, p. 1868)
pg. 29; - As cauh pi sapa, Black Tomahawk, signs the agreement of February 28, 1877 as a Lower Yanktonias (U.S. Stat. L., vol. 19, p. 258)
pg. 35; - Black Tomahawk states that he is the son of, Mah to non pah "Catch the enemy". Black Tomahawk also gives reference to the name, "Little Chief".
pg. 53; On February 10, 1890, Black Tomahawk being duly sworn, states that he is a member of the "Two Kettle" band etc..
pg. 56 & 57; states that Black Tomahawk has a brother named "Little Skunk".
pg. 58; states that Black Tomahawk's brother, Little Skunk was (aka), Little Chief.
pg. 65; Some confusion sets in !!! In reference to, Black Tomahawk previously stating, his father as, Mah to non pah (refer back to pg. 35) and the fact that, Mah to non pah was "Two Bears". This may have been a error by Black Tomahawks attorney. ? It is also mentioned that a Little Chief signed a treaty as a Arapahoe.
pg. 76; states again, Little Chief, better known as Little Skunk, was a brother to Black Tomahawk.
pg. 83; Black Tomahawk, duly sworn, Fort Pierre, S. DAK., February 3, 1891. [Very good information contained here.] Including, listing William Larabee as Black Tomahawk's interpreter.
pg. 92; Black Tomahawk states that his grandmother on his father's side was, "Swimming".
pg. 98; Pierre, S. DAK., April 9, 1891, Black Tomahawk states that his father was Catch the Enemy, his father was, "Rattling Rib". He was the chief of the Two Kettle Band of Sioux Indians, of 700 lodges.
"My father was chief, and now that he is dead I am chief. Our home has been for a great number of years on the Bad River, where our tribe still lives."
Closing comments:
This reference, shows a long....drawn out land battle. This is a must read.
This reference, like I mentioned before, does not list a name for, Black Tomahawk's wife. However, it does mention he had a wife and two children during this land dispute. I believe that Black Tomahawk's wife's name was "Fat Woman".
Please feel free to add some photo's of Black Tomahawk and family if, you have any.
