Hello. I tried to compile a list of Wahpeton Chiefs that were living around the time of the fighting in Minnesota.
Upihdahe-Extended Eagle Feathers, I found he was also called Big Curley Head
Face In The Middle, was the son of Extended Eagle Feathers
Wambdiska-White Eagle. He may have been Sisseton. I do not know which village he came from where he would have been a headman. He did facilitate many meetings with the Lakota under Sitting Bull in Canada. He settled on the Sioux Valley Reservation and during their first election he was nominated by the agent but the people there refused this because, they said all the people of his band were killed at Killdeer Mountain in 1864. like i said, some reports have him as Wahpeton and others as Sisseton.
Iyangmani-Running Walker, this man was said to have accidently killed himself while cleaning his gun. He was the father in law to Litttle Crow. Also, a granddaughter ended up living at the Fort Peck reservation. Her name is Winyan Waste or Good Woman or Julia Red Boy. His people, due to the relationship with Little Crow left to the plains. I did not get all the names of his children, grandchildren etc.
Tapetatanka or Peter Big Fire. Son of Running Walker. Left to the plains with Little Crow and surrendered on July 24, 1864.
Mahpiyahinnape-Appearing Cloud or Henok or Enoch. Settled at the Birdtail Reserve in Canada. I do not know much information about him nor of his family etc.
Hdemani-Rattling Walker. i found a link for him...
www.biographi.ca/009004-119.01-e.php?BioId=41554 He was the last holdout for the Turtle Mountain sioux along with Bogaga. another link i found for his is,
dsp-psd.pwgsc.gc.ca/Collection/RC31-18-2003E.pdf that link explains his struggles and life and band members.
Inkpa-End, i have not found much on him, his family or band
Wakanmani-Walking Spirit. Also, have not found family, band information on him
Mazamani-Iron Walker, I did find the he was killed in Minnesota about 1862. But, his family and information on his band i could not find
Akipa-Meeting. Also, have not found family, band information on him
Hdehda-Rattling Moccasin, he appeared to have left to the plains but he surrendered on July 24, 1864. He is reported as Sisseton as well. Also, have not found family, band information on him
Eagle Head Also, have not found family, band information on him
Simon Anawangmani-He Gallops Along and Inihan-Excited, were leaders of the Wahpeton who turned to farming. It would be good to find their family and members of their bands. Also, there was Little Paul Mazakutemani and John Otherday.
Left Bear, is another name i have found that was to be Wahpeton.
I went through lot of sources and found that these were the leaders just before and during the outbreak. So, anyone can help and maybe we could piece together a map with their village sites and make a sort of timeline for their leadership. Also, include band names.
