Good to hear that the Lipans did not disappear and that descendants are here today, even groups who are searching for tribal recognition. In past publications we could read only of about a handful of survivers, mostly among the Mescaleros, - and I guess some individuals among the Tonkawas and Kiowa-Apaches as well, descending from Lipans living with them. Could you learn about the population of today in that book done by Thomas Britten ? Elsewhere was learning that the Lipans where once part of the Jicarillas, separating some time around 1600 or so.
Greetings from Germany,

Yes, gregor, Ernie´s book gives a lot of answers, first hand family stories, oral tradition. German readers will find the book also in a German version on amazon, by the way.

Hello Paintedwolf,
welcome also from me.
Am I right that "Wingapo" is "hello" in the Powhatan Language ? Glad to meet a Powhatan member, as I assume, enjoy this site here.
Best wishes
chicheman

The Wampanoag were among the first Native People of America to greet the european newcomers. At first they got along with each other kind of well, but later relations became less good since the europeans became more and more, taking more and more land of the Indians, who found it difficult over time to follow their own traditional way of life. Those newcomers over the decades even thought to control the Indians in their ways of religion and ways of living until many Indians had enough and war broke out in 1676, when Metacomet, also known as King Philip, united Wampanoag, Narragansett, Nipmuck, Massachusett and other Bands to fight for their rights. After first success the Indians were hunted down, many killed or taken captive. A number of those captives were shiped as slaves to Bermuda, while other survivers were allowed to live on small reservations in their former homelands. Descendants are still living there.

A brief bio about the famous Mandan chief "Four Bears", a very interesting historical personality : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mato-topeOne thing I noticed in this text is false, - the Arikaras and Mandan were of course - not - closely related tribes. While the Mandan belong to the Siouan-Language family, the Arikara belong to the Caddoan-family and were close relatives of the Pawnee. The Mandan were very close in relationship with the Hidatsa people, who belonged to the Siouan-family either, though speaking an own dialect. The Hidatsa lived nearby the Mandan for a long time and the two became close allies over centuries, to this day.

This week I was going back to "The killing of chief Crazy Horse" (Robert A. Clark). Now this very subject was brought up here.
Anyway, this is what I could learn of Lone Bear´s role in connection with that, quoted from William Garnett´s account (p 96 - 98) :
Nine or ten years afterwards I found out that what Woman Dress said about attempting to kill General Crook was not true. This was all framed up against him (Crazy Horse); not by white people, but by Indians who were jealous of him. About years later, I was in the guard house here and Little Wolf and Lone Bear were policemen. Little Wolf was sitting in the guard house one night iwth me and he said: "Now we came in from the north with Crazy Horse; we intended to be peaceable with the white people - the same as the other Indians. I wonder why Crazy Horse was treated the way he was and finally died". And I thought back and I said, "You killed him". And he said, " I killed him ?" And I said, "Yes, you killed him". And he said, "I killed Crazy Horse when I came in from the North with him and was a scout with him ? Come, how did I kill him ?"I told him that his talk killed him. I said, "You told your own brother, Lone Bear, that Crazy Horse was going to kill General Crook". He said, " I never told my brother I heard Crazy Horse say it". . . . I never knew that I had anything to do with this. I´m going to see my brother". So the next time I met him he came to me with Lone Bear, and he denied that he told Woman Dress that Gen. Crook was going to be killed. "I never told Woman Dress any such thing," he said. About three month afterwards, they caught Woman Dress near Fort Robinson, and W.D. came up to me with Louis Shangreau (his nephew) and said, "You can tell as good a lie as any one I ever saw". I said, "Woman Dress, what am I lying about?" And he said, "You lied about me. I heard Crazy Horse "Tomorrow there is going to be a council on over at White Clay, the Indian Village, and Crook´s going to be there. I will catch Crook by his hand and pretend like I was going to shake hands with him and make quick owrk of him and whoever he will have with him". Now that is what I heard Crazy Horse say. You said in the gourd house (we resume with the Friswold manuscript at this point. Ed.) that Little Wolf was the one who told Lone Bear and Lone Bear told me. It was me, myself, that heard Crazy Horse, and now you tell lies about me and saying that I got it from this Lone Bear". Just about the time I got this roasting and I was facing these two men, Louis Shangreau and Woman Dress, I felt something toch me behind and it was Baptiste Pourier. I turned around and shook hands with Bat and said "You came here just in time". I told Louis Shangreau that Bat knew all about this and he will finish it with you. I told them that I was not afraid of them. I told him that he and his uncle were not telling the truth, and Bat explained this whole trouble about what took place back in 1877 when Crazy Horse was killed. Bat said, "I will tell - I know just exactly how it happend" He told just how it occurred and Louis Shangreau was mad at his uncle then and turned around and said, "You are a big liar and you are the cause of a good man´s death and you´re jealous of him". The Bat, with the finger pointed on Woman Dress, told him " You are a liar and you are the cause of a good man´s death". And Louis Shangreau said the same thing and Woman Dress never said a word. He is now all broken and lives on Wounded Knee and draws pension.
Well, you all did read this story already once of course, but thought to post neverthless.
