Hi Dietmar, I agree with you. The little girl in the Gilbert photograph is definitely not Standing Holy. Here a comparison of the little Misses "sunshine": CU Gregor

Hi everybody, recently I found an New York Times article on Thunder Hawk (Brulé or Oglala). The article dates from January 6, 1895 an says: “Hot Springs. S.D., Jan.5. – Thunder Hawk, an Indian from Rosebud Agency, brought here …. on the charge of murder, hanged himself in the county jail last night with a towel. He was charged with murdering a squaw named Her Good Horse and her seven-year-old son..” You can find this historic article here: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9F0DE1DE103AE533A25755C0A9679C94649ED7CFToksha ake Gregor

Hi Graham, thanks for the comments. Relating to the Anderton and scaffold photographs, I also would’nt bet $ 100 on them. The Elders in the Canadian Anderton photo in front of the pole remind me of Running Antelope and Rain-in-the-face from the known photograph "Five noted Chiefs/ 1881" which shows Antelope and Rain with hats together with Gall, Crawler, Low Dog and Spotted Eagle in front of an Army tent. I personally do believe that the Anderton photo show Canadian Indians, e.g. Plains Cree. Regarding the scaffold photo: nobody can be sure, that it is really Iyotake Tatanka. I do not believe that he would have allowed to be photographed in such a situation. Toksha ake Gregor

Hello everyone, there is a new kid in town. My name is Gregor and I live in Germany in the neighborhood of our friend Dietmar. Dietmar and I met during the great Sitting Bull exhibition in Bremen/Germany in 2008. Since then, we had a lot of discussions about the Lakota and especially sitting Bull issues. I’m researching for several years about the Lakota and Sitting Bull, and had the great luck to meet Ernie LaPointe, first via Internet and later in person in South Dakota and Germany. Ernie, a very special and generous person (If you read this Ernie – greetings from Germany, hope to see you next year!). I visit this wonderful knowledge base for some years and freeze up again and again in awe of the deep knowledge and understanding of many members. In particular, Kingslay Bray and Ephriam Dickson inspire me again and again. I have long been reluctant to participate here, finally Dietmar convinced me. Among Lakota / Bio / Sitting Bull you will find a list of my Sitting Bull photographs with commentaries. In this regard, a very special THANK YOU to Diane Merkel & Dietmar. Because this site has given me so much information and insight – in the future I will try to give something back. Bye for now! Yours Gregor
