Red Tomahawk Northern Cheyenne Sighted Custer in their second camp on the Rosebud 1926, attended Battle 50 Year Anniversary Unknown www.lbha.org/Indians/NameR.htm The above documentation must be typo or does anybody have additional information as to who this Red Tomahawk is? Also is a mystery as to a Red Tomahawk being Northern Cheyenne. Wakalapi

I can tell you where I got that information. It is from a listing that was sent to me from someone with the Custer Battlefield Historical & Museum Association (CBHMA), probably about five years ago. Unfortunately, I did not note who sent it, but I believe the Friends of the Little Bighorn Battlefield also used the same list.
I note that the Friends website no longer has this "Red Tomahawk" listed, but I do have the original references. The two books cited as sources were CHEYENNE MEMORIES OF THE CUSTER FIGHT: A SOURCE BOOK by Richard G. Hardorff, Spokane WA, The Arthur H. Clark Company, 1995, p. 167, and THE CUSTER SEMI-CENTENNIAL CEREMONIES: JUNE 25-26, 1926 by Major A E. Ostrander, Casper WY, Casper Printing and Stationery Co. 1926, p. 25.
If any listing on the American-Tribes website is incorrect, I will be glad to change it with appropriate sourcing.

Hau Diane,
Ohan, I will research the two books you mentioned. I find it interesting that there just "might" be a Red Tomahawk who was documented as Northern Cheyenne.
