I'm pretty sure "Platte Sioux" refers to the Sicangu.

I found this picture today in a newspaper article from 1909. The man named John Colombe mentioned was my great great grandmother's brother. I would love to have a better copy of the picture. Has anybody seen this before or know where I could find a better copy? This is a Sicangu delegation in Washington D.C. in 1909 on the Whitehouse steps. Here is the full article from the "Gillette News," Gillette, Wyoming, 5 May 1909, page 11.

I visited Struck by the Ree's grave a couple years ago.

Why do you have good reason to believe that he was Lakota Sioux? Was he born in the U.S.? Who were his parents?

Elisha DeRoin (brother of Baptiste DeRoin) - Otoe - 1869 Elisha DeRoin looks an awful lot like Elisha Dorion in the Iowa pictures. Might this be the same person? It even looks like the same suit.

I would suggest getting them on inter-library loan through your local library.

Many people don't realize there are many Dakotas and a few Lakotas living in Canada. There are 8 Sioux Reserves (in Canada they are called Reserves rather than Reservations) in Canada, 4 in Saskatchewan and 4 in Manitoba. 7 of the 8 reserves are populated by descendants of the Dakota Tribes - Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Sisseton, and Wahpeton (plus a few Yanktonai). The 8th reserve is populated by descendants of Sitting Bull's band of Hunkpapa Sioux. All Sioux in Canada are descendants of refugees escaping from the 1862 war or are descendants of refugees from Sitting Bull's band. 4 SIOUX RESERVES IN SASKATCHEWAN: 1. Round Plain - This Reserve is near Prince Albert. This Reserve is populated by all 4 Tribes of Dakota Sioux, but predominantly Sisseton. 2. White Cap (formerly Moose Woods) - This Reserve is near Dundurn. This Reserve is predominantly populated by Sisseton. 3. Standing Buffalo - Near Fort Qu'Appelle. Like the previous Reserve, it is also predominantly Sisseton, but there are some Wahpekute as well. 4. Wood Mountain - Near the town of Wood Mountain. The majority of Sioux on this Reserve are descendants of Sitting Bull's band of Hunkpapa Sioux. 4 SIOUX RESERVES IN MANITOBA: 1. Birdtail - Near the town of Birtle. The majority of Sioux on this Reserve are Mdewakantons, but there are also a few Yanktonai. 2. Sioux Valley (formerly Oak River) - This Reserve is near the town of Oak Lake, not to be confused with the Reserve named Oak Lake. This Reserve is mostly populated by Sisseton and Wahpeton, but there are many Mdewakantons as well. Tribal website: www.dakotanation.com/3. Oak Lake - Near Pipestone. I'm not sure of the makeup of this Reserve, but there are some Yanktonai. This one and the Birdtail Reserve are the only Reserves populated by Yanktonai. 4. Long Plain - Near the town of Portage La Prairie. This Reserve is not solely Sioux, but there is a large Sioux segment on this Reserve. I'm not sure of the makeup, but I think they are mostly Sisseton and Wahpeton.

About 30 or so Santee scouts served with Custer in 1873 and 1874. Does anybody have a list of their names?

My name is Jimmy Sweet.
I am Sicangu Lakota, Yankton and Mdewakanton Dakota. I descend from the Colombe, Emery, and Dorian families of Rosebud, the Langdeau family of Lower Brule, and the Trudell family of Santee.
I'm a dad to 2 and a student in American Indian history at Montana State.
I look forward to discussing with everybody.
