Members: I hate to beat a dead horse as they saying goes. Two Shields Butte: Igaridabe Nuba SH (Shield / Two/ Definite article. A flat topped butte with an acre or more of hay land on top, east of mandaree, ND by St. Anthony's Catholic Church. Two Shields is buried on top, he was killed when he fell under a hay mower when the horses ran off (Louis Garcia - unpublished "Hidatsa Place Names" 1996) I guess I did say he is buried on top of this butte. I'll be age 70 in two months and getting forgetfull. Later, Louie

The State Historical Society of North Dakota emailed me about a month ago asking about Two Shields Butte and it's location. IgaridaenubaSh (Two Shields) was a Hidatsa. I didn't say he was buried on top of the butte. I don't know where he is buried.

I just spoke with Mrs. Larry (LaVerne) Sullivan to make sure I had things correct. Her father was Tom Siyaka (son of Siyaka), he had a half brother Clarence who was photographed by Barry, same mother but different father. Anyway Tom moved to Ft. Totten. LaVerne says she is the last of family. She is the only Siyaka as there were no boys in the family. She knows of no one at Cannonball / Ft. Yates with the Siyaka name. The name Charging Eagle was passed on to her son Tom Sullivan who is a carpenter with Spirit lake Housing department.

Big Hidatsa 32me12 (Hidatsa) Wi?ti Writari sh = Village of Water Crossers.
Sakakawia 32me11(Hidatsa) Mi?ti Xata sh = Village Spread Out.
Awahami 32me8 (Hidatsa) Wi?ti Aki sh = Village Above
Rutare 32mL5 (Mandan) Wi?ti Aki sh = High Village
Deapolis 32me5 (Mandan) Wi/tutahank / Mi?tituhako? sh = East Village Mi/ti Sanka sh = village few.
I see that Awahami and Rutare have the same name. Anyone have something different?

Red Iron (Mazasa) [Maza = iron, sa= color red) This man's name has been mis-translated in almost every book so much so that when his real name is put forth only a few would be able to put Red Ion with his real name Sounding Iron.
Mazas'a (maza = iron, metal; s'a = a roar, sound) probably meaning meaning the sound of a blacksmith striking the anvil with a hammer.
We also have a similar use of the s'a sound when we see Charles Eastman's Indian name Ohiyesa = The Winner. Ohiya = to win; s'a = continually. Someone who continually wins. The word s'a (sah-ah) has two meanings.

Members: Mark Diedrich (markdiedrich@charter.net) has written a biography of Wabasha. He self publishes, that is why he doesn't get too much publicity for the 25 books he has written on the Ojibwe, Hocak, and Dakota. Later, Louie

Ft.PeckPabaksa: We had a man here name Igmusapa, but I think he was a Sisseton. There is Black Tiger Bay named after him in Devils Lake.
As to Padaniapapi Hoksina (also Sunkanumpa) find information on the 1873 Canadian Boundry (49th Parallel) as they took photos of these men and their camp. A Canadian officer also painted them. If you eamil me at Louis_Garcia@littlehoop.edu I can send you copies of the painting.

Andre: You are not backing up your statements. There is a difference between Nakota and Nakoda (Stoney). I teach at a tribal college which teaches Nakota (Yanktonai) here at Ft. Totten, ND. As many reservations turned out to be refugee camps, many dialects lumped together, that today some areas speak a combination of several dialects. Here at Ft. Totten what is left of the language is a mixture of Yantonai and Sisseton. So give us some examples as I have done to back up your statements. Toksta ake, Louie

Let me play devils advocate here. If Nakota is not a separate dialect how do you explain the use of "K" to replace "H" in Dakota, and "G" in Lakota? Three random examples: Wokdaka (talk) Cankdeska (hoop) Ikduwita (gather)

Waanatan II (1825 - 1897) lived here at Spirit Lake. He was not a Pabaksa but a Sissitunwan; he went with his mothers people. The tradition here says the three sons of Waantan I (1795-1840) Waanatan II, Hogansapa (catfish) and Wakinyanduta (Scarlet Thunder) split up each taking a faction. Catfish was at Ft. Peck and Red Thunder was at Ft. Peck, if I have my facts straight. The Pabaksa learder here at Spirit Lake was Wahacankaduta (Scarlet Shield) he was the father of the infamous Brave Bear. Later, Louie

Ojupi is the Indian name of Sweetcorn (Sisseton Dakota) I don't know if the Sweetcorn name survives today at Sisseton (Lake Traverse). You could check the Census records. Wasuiciyapi is Ojupi's son. I have seen thename translated as Hail Knocking Together (Wasu= hail, ici= upon ones self; yapi= they have). A little sloppy but you get the idea. Ojupi was closely related to Standing Buffalo and Waanatan. Later, Louie

Top right is Siptoduta (Scalet Bead) AKA Chief Beads, 1834 - 1921 son of Hoksinawasteka (perhaps a Good Boy). Bottom left Tiyowaste (Good inside his house) AKA Little Fish 1825 - 1919. Bottom right: Matohin (Bear Hair) older brother of Scarlet Bead. They all lived in the St. Michael, ND area known as Kahminoyanke (Bend Place, bend in Devils Lake known today as Mission Bay).
