Does anyone know if the Catching Bear listed as a member of Fire Heart' band in the 1881 Sitting Bull Surrender Census is the same man who was killed with Sitting Bull at Grand River in 1890? According to the Census, he had been farming three acres for three years at the time it was compiled.There is no other Catch the Bear/Catching Bear in the Census, but, of course, he may not have been known under that name or perhaps he'd surrendered elsewhere. Ephriam has provided footnotes forn several of the major figures in the Census but not for this man, which made me wonder if it was someone different.
