Pretty much. I read a report on the plans to hand over the Indian Dept to the War Dept. BIA against the War Dept. THey started ratting out each other. It actually said that up to that point 1870's no tribe ever started a war with the U.S. It was the policies and ill behavior of US Governors/Commanders/agents/contractors/missionaries that started them. The report was in Misc. files of course.

HEADQUARTERS NORTHWESTERN INDIAN EXPEDITION,
Fort Rice, Dakota Territory September 11, 1864. All the Indians north of the Missouri, above the Big Bend, could easily be banded together to assist a body of troops to war against the Sioux. In my opinion it would be POLICY and economy for the Government to expend a few thousand dollars and get these Indians into a war with the hostile portion of the Sioux, and to assist them also with troops, till all the posts are permanently established.
With much respect, your obedient servant,
ALFRED. SULLY,
Brigadier- General
ASSISTANT ADJUTANT-GENERAL, DEPT. OF THE NORTHWEST.

I'm glad you posted this about Maria and Iowa. After Maria passed, Iowa went back to business as usual. The Iowa Indian advisory council is a joke. I would like to see them correct the non existence of Dakota history in their Iowa history curriculum. The NAGPRA Native delegates in Iowa don't even know the Dakota tribes THPO's or councils. When remains are unearthed they call these two or three @!@#$.The IA State Archeaologists stated on anther blog that he did not like to work woth Tribal monitors in the field. When did he EVER have tribal monitors on one of his projects in Iowa?? When? The Iowa DOT Arch is signing off on 106 Consultation with tribes in Federally funded projects without actually consulting with them. Iowa is prehistoric in working with traditional tribes. In some ways they used Maria as their "mascot". I got that from her sisters and other natives who worked with Maria who live in Iowa. She left this world to soon. So much to do in Iowa that she started.

I'm glad you two are on it. I have been talking to walls for years in Iowa. I have about 70 Dakota/Nakota/Lakota sites in Iowa I mapped, that was only one months worth of work to show as an example!! And it falls on deaf ears, not only to Iowa State Preservation office, Iowa Archeaologists but even the tribes themselves.
I have to dash now, but hope to discuss this PROJECT with you soon.

Hello,
I had always heard rum river was Mde Wakan ton (Like a spirit lake or Holy lake)
Maybe instead of Quiocpeton it is Ouiopeton translating to Wahpeton. The old french writings always had O's where we put W's at the beginging of Dakota names and places.
I would have to see the original journal and maps to give a better opinion, but this is what I have read before.
It is worth delving into, I always thought we should know more on these early sites.
