Gordie:
As noted above, Red Tomahawk was a member of Wolf Necklace's band of Upper Yanktonais.
He was not at the Little Bighorn; rather, he was at the Standing Rock Agency in the summer of 1876. He recalled being at the Black Hills treaty negotations at Standing Rock after the Little Bighorn. "Those of us that were present at that council will recall that we were in the midst of exceitment or confusion, you might call it, at that time," he later recalled. "It wasn't the Custer battle that had any effect, but what really had effect was about the proposition that the Great Father will take the Indians to the south [Indian Territory; later Oklahoma], and the chiefs wished to retain this place [Standing Rock] as a permanent place for their home."

Thank you very much for your posting. I appreciate & admire the knowledge that your sharing regarding Marcellus Red Tomahawk. I was wondering if you have any information regarding any of his children?
Also would like to know if you have any information regarding the white horse society that is sometimes mentioned in Marcellus Red Tomahawk's obits?
Pilamaya yelo!

Hau Dietmar,
Thanks for posting another RT picture. I'm still on the search for any pictures of Marcellus Red Tomahawk's wives and/or children. Also Peter Irontail is Marcellus RT father.
If anybody has any documentation and/or pictures of Peter Irontail. Please post these and/or let me know asap. That way I can make a better connection and more complete picture.

Hau liverpoolannie,
Thank you for posting this picture. This picture of Marcellus RT is interesting to me. I wonder about his felt derby and/or bowler. As for his coat... I think it might be a straight cut wool coat.
I really admire his facial as he looks very proud, very full of dignity.

Hello, My name is James Red Tomahawk. Red Tomahawk is my Great Great Grandfather and i am very proud of him and all that he has done during his life time. My grandparents along with my dad always spoke about Red Tomahawk. They had told of accounts that took place and also that cold crisp morning of December 15th 1890. It does not match up with what was written in the books that were wrote. These accounts that were handed down to me. I am now handing down to my children.

Welcome James, and thanks for joining us here. Very interesting. May I ask if it is possible for you to share some thoughts about Red Tomahawk? We already tried to assemble a bit of information, maybe you can add something or correct us in some points. Please look also here: www.american-tribes.com/Nakota/BIO/RedTomahawk.htmBtw, our member Wakalapi is also related to him. Very best wishes Dietmar
