Btw, I assume this portrait of Wounded With Many Arrows, a Buffalo Bill performer, taken by George Spencer in 1891 could be the same man, Arrow Wound aka Arrow Wounded, son of Red Dog: Interestingly, this also looks a lot like Bone Necklace (and the fact that he's actually wearing a Bone Necklace helps), but I find striking resemblances between these two as well. freepages.rootsweb.com/~mikestevens/genealogy/2010-p/p50.htm#i19983

I also found this reference to Bone Necklace, Short Bull, and No Neck in August 1891 in the Manchester Chronicle during one of the stays of "Colonel Cody" in Manchester. It was said that these three (with "other red-skinned celebrities") were with him. codyarchive.org/texts/wfc.nsp11531.html

Ephriam wrote above: " However, there was no mention of Long Wolf or Wolf Ears, suggesting that perhaps they had separated for some reason and were traveling a different manner." Read more: amertribes.proboards.com/thread/330/red-dog#ixzz3suvtr7bkThere is a report in the Red Cloud Agency Letters Received By the Bureau of Indian Affairs file, Agent Daniels to Commissioner Indian Affairs, January 28, 1873, which includes a lengthy account by Wolf Ears. He left the Agent Daniels-Red Dog-High Wolf party "at Grand River Agency saying at the time that he was going to visit all the Indians out north and tell them what he had seen and the wishes of the Great Father." He describes visiting the Northern Nation Lakotas, the non-treaty hunting bands including the Hunkpapas of Sitting Bull and No Neck, and the Miniconjous of Lame Deer. He spent the whole fall and early winter on his mission, arriving home at the Red Cloud Agency late in January 1873. He doesn't mention High Wolf, so his activities are not clear to me. High Wolf was back at Red Cloud Agency by October 21st, 1872, the date of a demonstration at the agency by warriors opposed to the American presence. Agent Daniels noted the presence of High Wolf and other chiefs who used their influence to calm matters down. Agent Daniels got back to Red Cloud Agency from the trip down the Missouri river on September 1st, 1872. He remarked that the party left Fort Peck on August 14. Red Dog was probably travelling with Daniels. At any rate another report, dated September 11th, transcribes a long speech given by Red Dog "to his people and the Cheyennes" on September 4th, soon after returning from the Montana trip. The council was called by Blue Horse, the Loafer (Wagluhe) band chief, who also hosted a feast for the large gathering. Red Dog spoke for moving the agency to White river, as agreed earlier in the year, but five days later Red Cloud made a speech against the move. This shows that Red Dog's relation to Red Cloud fluctuated. In 1875 he was viewed as Red Cloud's spokesman; in 1872 that was manifestly not the case. Anyway, fantastic work by Dietmar and Ephriam on the photos -- great you unearthed that picture of Red Dog's daughter from Sioux City. A very high class Lakota lady! I have some interesting data on Red Dog's role in the 1868 treaty preliminaries, and will pursue more questions with contacts at Pine Ridge. We wondered when he married .. his maybe eldest son and namesake was aged 44 in the 1890 census, so born c. 1845-46. Maybe he married in 1842 or 1843? He was living with the Oyuhpe by summer 1842 (the Sun Dance he participated in), and possibly before the end of 1841 (when he might have made the pledge to put on the Dance). His commitment to the Oyuhpe was strong, he always lived with that band after his marriage. But he retained strong links to the northern Lakotas. He was at Fort Rice in 1865. General J. E. Smith, the c/o at Ft Laramie reported in 1871 that Red Dog had the widest acquaintance with the Hunkpapa and other northern divisions. Anyway, happy we've reactivated this thread about a great Oglala. Interestingly, my ancestor Yellow Dress was killed on this day at Fort Laramie and the Post Surgeon's Medical notes make comment on him, his relation to Red Cloud, and the fact that the Agent boarded himself inside his lodging because there was a demonstration after two traders killed Yellow Dress. I still haven't found more information on Yellow Dress or their relation to Red Cloud, however, these stories seem to overlap. "High Wolf was back at Red Cloud Agency by October 21st, 1872, the date of a demonstration at the agency by warriors opposed to the American presence. Agent Daniels noted the presence of High Wolf and other chiefs who used their influence to calm matters down."

I think there is still some confusion about the three different Oglala men named Red Shirt who settled on the Pine Ridge Reservation. Perhaps it will help to share a little more information using their later reservation names: 1. Adam Red Shirt (c1846-15 Oct 1906). Recorded in He Dog's Soreback Band in 1890, in the White Clay District. His son Guy received an allotment in the Slim Buttes area. 2. Joseph Red Shirt (c1847-4 Jan 1925). This is the Oglala whose father was a white man and his mother a Lakota. I think he originally grew up among the Kiyuksa or Southern Oglala but shifted over to the Wagluhe after his marriage. He is recorded in the Wagluhe Band in 1890, in the Wakpamni District. He is the one who traveled for some years with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and for whom there are a number of photographs. 3. Henry Red Shirt (c1859-30 Aug 1934). This is the "son" of Red Dog; "brother" of Silas Fills the Pipe and John Kills a Hundred. Wendy Smoke above has listed Henry as the son of Red Shirt and the grandson of Red Dog. But I believe the Red Shirt and the Henry Red Shirt she refers to are the same person. Henry and his wife Emma had several children, including John (b. 1882), Charles and Alfred (b. 1895). Alfred appears to have remained single but the other two sons married and had a number of children, with number of descendants in that community today. I am particularly interested in learning more about Henry Red Shirt. He and Fred Two Bulls were recognized as leaders in the Red Shirt Table community, located on the Cheyenne River in the northwest corner of the reservation. Some of the families had moved into this area by 1904. Many received allotments here in 1910. By 1920, there were at least 10 families in this small community, including Silas Fills the Pipe who served as the catechist in the Catholic church there, St. Bernard's Chapel. There was also Christ Church (Episcopal) and a day school in this community. This community was built around the sons of Red Dog. In the late 1930s, this community was site of the Red Shirt Developmental Project or Red Shirt Table Cooperative. ephriam I am also interested in Henry Red Shirt. In the 1900 Pine Ridge Census, it shows him as the family right before one of my relatives, Samuel Little Bull. Samuel's Dad is Yellow Dress, who I have yet to find any records for, however, Yellow Dress's father is Oye Luta (Red Track) who I'm suspecting is related somehow to Sunka Luta (Red Dog) and Sunka Oye Luta (Red Dog Track). I've been chasing this mystery for a few months now.
