A geographical marker in the 1867 Sisseton-Wahpeton says Chief's Bluff near the head of the James River (North Dakota).
Does anyone know where this site is located?

I have located this landmark named Chiefs Bluff mentioned in the 1867 Sisseton-Wahpeton treaty.
This Historical site is now known a Hawksnest. Located in Hawksnest Township in the Southeast corner of Wells County, North Dakota
Original name: Huyawayapaahdi (Huya = mature Golden eagle; Wayapa = hold something in the mouth; Ahdi = to bring or carry something home.
'Where the Eagle brings back something in its beak".
A group of Dakota's were stormed in during a blizzard. One man had a pet eagle who got away, but brought back a piece of meat in his beak.
They set the eagle off and followed it, locating a dead buffalo killed by the snow storm. The eagle saved them from starvation.
