Wow! Thanks Dietmar—I’ve always wondered when and where that photograph was taken. You are very good at facial-recognition, so you might have an opinion about my theory that the young Kaw sitting on the left side of the front row is also the guy photographed at A.P. Trott’s studio in Junction City, Kansas (pictured on these following links): www.gchsweb.org/p/geary-county-history.html4.bp.blogspot.com/-N76N2MQqeQo/VQcnKtWrELI/AAAAAAAACz4/BVyHaPPHW6s/s1600/Trott_Indian_3_large.jpgHis name isn’t listed, and oddly enough, some say he is a Pawnee rather than a Kaw, but since the location of Trott’s studio was in Junction City, I seriously doubt he was a Pawnee. Trott opened his studio in April, 1868. The young Indian is pictured holding a hand-held mirror. Coincidentally, the Kaws used mirrors to blind Cheyenne raiders (by reflecting sunlight) when they were attacked in June, 1868 (just as they did against white settlers in 1859). Also, when the Cheyennes attacked the Kaws in 1868, a contingent of militia was sent out from Junction City (hometown to Fort Riley) Side notes: esirc.emporia.edu/bitstream/handle/123456789/1552/History%20Vol%206%20Num%201.pdf?sequence=1 Page 15: “The Indians threw sun reflections in their eyes from mirrors and flourished their spears and blankets. The Kaws then began a series of attacks.” .... Kaws were reportedly one of the last tribes to abandon the scalp-lock haircut, but many wore headgear that covered their shaved scalp.

(AP) — Perched atop a fence at Badlands National Park, Troy Heinert peered from beneath his wide-brimmed hat into a corral where 100 wild bison awaited transfer to the Rosebud Indian Reservation. . . By nightfall, the last of the American buffalo shipped from Badlands were being unloaded at the Rosebud reservation, where Heinert lives. The next day, he was on the road back to Badlands to load 200 bison for another tribe, the Cheyenne River Sioux. . . Some 82 tribes across the U.S. — from New York to Alaska — now have more than 20,000 bison in 65 herds . . . By 1889, few bison remained: 10 animals in central Montana, 20 each in central Colorado and southern Wyoming, 200 in Yellowstone National Park, some 550 in northern Alberta and about 250 in zoos and private herds.

This story says Marn Barbarus was Cheyenne: www.genealogy.com/ftm/a/n/d/Jo-Anderson-washington/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0124.html Robert S. Stout (son of Jonathan Stout and Sarah) was born November 05, 1818, and died December 04, 1888 in Sullivan City, Missouri. He married Sarah Barbee on October 19, 1842 in Orange Co. Indiana. Notes for Robert S. Stout: Many of Robert S. Stout's family are buried at New Town, Sullivan County, Missouri. Letter written to Fred deKrafft Sprague, Jr. on 4/17/1996 from his cousin June. . . . . . Robert S. Stout made many trips hauling through Indian land. He got along well with the Indians and spent much time with them. One tribe was the Cheyenne; later he met and married a Cheyenne maiden. Her name Marn Barbarus (Indian Name). Before the wedding, which was a great event, she took as her last name Barbee and in doing so she took more of the white man's ways. It is thought Marn was a cousin of Chief Satanta. She took to white man's ways of life. To this marriage union several children were born. . .

The family name “Mongrain” has been associated with the Osage tribe from as far back as the Chouteau dynasty. themercury.com/news/k-state-recognizing-osage-nation-language-master-teacher-with-honorary-doctorate/article_f074ac42-0549-541a-a0ac-5acb3a940387.html Manhattan, Kansas, December 3, 2021 Kansas State University will present an honorary doctorate to a member of the Osage Nation credited with preserving and making the Osage language more accessible. Herman “Mogri” Mongrain Lookout will receive the honor and serve as the speaker at commencement ceremonies for the K-State Graduate School at 1 p.m. Dec. 10 in Bramlage Coliseum. . . Lookout, an Osage language master teacher and founding director of the Osage Language Department, is the inventor of the official Osage orthography, or alphabet, and language database. . .

One of those dialects was Chiwere, a Siouan language originally spoken by the Otoe, Iowa and Missouria tribes. It’s an endangered language that researchers and descendants of its speakers are working hard to preserve, KCUR-FM reports. The Missouria is the tribe behind the state of Missouri’s name. Its people originally came from the Great Lakes region. They were thought to be part of a bigger tribe with the Otoe, Iowa, Winnebago and Ho-Chunk peoples, before they split off and moved south to the area that is now North Central Missouri in the 1500’s. . . .

kansasreflector.com/2021/07/14/what-we-learned-from-northern-cheyenne-men-held-captive-in-dodge-city-in-1879/Northern Cheyenne Ledger Art by Fort Robinson Breakout Survivors (1879) By Denise Low| Ramon Powers -July 14, 2021 In January, 1879, near the end of the Plains Indian Wars, seven Northern Cheyenne prisoners of war arrived in Dodge City for civil trial. Their group had suffered heavy losses at the massacre known as the Fort Robinson Breakout. Some of the men were gravely wounded, and all despaired. Jailers gave them only spoons for meals to avoid suicides. Yet when they were released the following September, they had recovered physically and, at least somewhat, mentally and spiritually. After the Little Bighorn battle in 1876, Northern Cheyenne were sent to Indian Territory, where they suffered death and disease. A band escaped and fled through Kansas to their homeland in the north. During the flight north, younger warriors killed 40 settlers. The entire band was captured and held at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. They broke out, and more than 60 were killed. The survivors included the seven prisoners of war. . . First, we learned the complexity of Kansas history. . . A second lesson is how allies of oppressed groups can make a difference. . . A third lesson from this story is the importance of the arts.

I should have said "First Indian (Pueblo) Presidential Cabinet Member. Also in a related matter: www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/some-_indian-chief-notes-also-bear-signature-of-cherokee-who-was.htmlOne of the most common as well as most popular issues of large-size notes is the silver certificate known colloquially as the “Indian Chief note” because of the bust of Oncpapa Sioux Chief Ta-to-ka-in-yan-ka, aka Running Antelope. Part of the reason for the marketability of this issue, which comes in 11 different signature combinations, is that it is the only issue of U.S. paper money on which a Native American is the central feature. www.coinworld.com/images/default-source/news/1899-f278-5-dollar-indian-chief-silver-certificate-lead.tmb-slide-1900.jpgSouthern Indiana collector Norm Pender points out that one of the Chief notes is distinctive. Friedberg 278 has, not one, but two Native Americans on it. The other is Register of the Treasury Houston Benge Teehee, whose facsimile signature appears on the note. Teehee was appointed by Woodrow Wilson and served from March 24, 1915, to Nov. 20, 1919. His signature appears with that of Treasurer John Burke. Teehee’s father was seven-eighths Cherokee and his mother half Cherokee. He was an accomplished Oklahoman — lawyer, alderman, mayor, county attorney, state representative and oil executive. But up to 1924 one thing was missing from his resumé — the title of citizen. Even though he was the man whose name was on every bank note printed by the United States for almost five years, as a Native American, until the Indian Citizenship Act was passed he could not become a citizen and could not vote in an election. Teehee was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1942.

This linked 379 page dissertation, FORT GIBSON; TERMINAL ON THE TRAIL OF TEARS, tells of tribal rivalry along and south of the Arkansas River, and although it does not provide the the Indian perspective in regard to the Battle of Wolf Creek of 1838 as the KU Scholar-works piece does, it does mention the multi-tribal confederations involved. shareok.org/bitstream/handle/11244/4159/7701809.PDFPage 9: The episode that stimulated the first significant movement of the Cherokees across the Mississippi occurred in 1794. An anti-white faction of the Cherokees led by Chief Bowles quarreled with a party of white immigrants on their way down the Tennessee River. A number of whites were killed, and Chief Bowles, in fear of reprisals, led his followers across the Mississippi to the St. Francis River valley, outside the jurisdiction of the United States. Page 14: A St. Louis newspaper of August 23, I8I7, reported that a formidable coalition of tribes hostile to the Osages was assembling at the Cherokee villages on the Arkansas River. In October, 1817, this multi-tribal force marched west. The Osages, who had been lulled into a feeling of security by Cherokee messages of friendship, had departed on their fall hunt little concerned for the safety of the women, children, and old men left behind. The six-hundred-man invading force stopped short of Clermont's village and sent forward a few messengers who invited the Osages to attend a peace council. In Clermont's absence an old man was designated to meet and negotiate with the Cherokees. He became their first victim. Now aware of the defenseless state of the Osage village, the invaders rushed forward to exact retribution for the wrongs their people had endured. The villagers offered little resistance as the Cherokees and their allies plundered and burned the settlement and killed or enslaved those not fortunate enough to escape. Some eighty Osages died in the attack and over one hundred were taken prisoner. Several of the attackers were wounded but only one, a Delaware, was killed. Page 73: Peace broke down completely in the winter of 1825-26 when a party of Cherokees, Delawares, and perhaps some Shawnees attacked an Osage party on the Red River and killed five warriors. Although the Cherokees participated in the attack it appears to have been organized by the Delawares. Page 212-213-214: Twelve days from Fort Gibson, General Leavenworth, Colonel Dodge, and a party of forty left the regiment under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Kearny and proceeded to Camp Washita at the mouth of the Washita River. . . Unencumbered by the slow-moving wagons, the advance party made rapid progress until the first sightings of buffalo. Leavenworth, Dodge, Catlin, and several other officers spurred their horses and galloped toward the lumbering animals. . . When the advance party reached Camp Washita, Leavenworth was informed that Wichita warriors had been observed in the area. Pages 216-217: On July 14 (1834), the Dragoons broke camp at 8:30 A.M. and had marched half a mile when they sighted a band of about thirty Indians. After identifying them as Comanches, Dodge ordered a white flag advanced. . . One of the Indians, with a white buffalo skin on his lance, left the band and cautiously approached the waiting Dragoons. . . Upon seeing this, the other warriors galloped full speed toward the Dragoons and greeted them enthusiastically. . . The Comanches told Dodge that they were on a hunting excursion and offered to take him to their village located a few days' march to the west. . . In further discussions, Dodge learned that the Comanches were allied with the Kiowas and the Wichitas. The latter were reported to have a village several day's journey west of the Comanche camp. Page 219: Their village of six to eight hundred skin lodges was located in a valley at the foot of a range of mountains which the Dragoons believed to be a spur of the Rockies. Page 220: Since they were the first official representatives of the United States to meet the Comanches, the visitors were surprised to find an American flag flying over one of the lodges. They speculated that the Indians might have captured it from a Santa Fe caravan Page 221: Later explorations would prove that they were not a spur of the Rocky Mountains but an isolated range of much greater geologic age eventually named the Wichitas after the tribe the Dragoons were trying to locate. Page 227: Early on the morning of July 25, the chiefs of the three tribes visited the Dragoon camp and were presented with rifles and pistols. Pages 293-294: An injured leg confined (Auguste Pierre “A.P.”) Chouteau to Camp Holmes, but he sent his nephew, E.L. Chouteau, and a military escort commanded by Lieutenant Northrop onto the Plains to try to persuade the other tribes to keep the peace and honor their treaty obligations. Northrop and the younger Chouteau learned that Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Pawnee warriors were raiding the camps of other tribes west of Camp Holmes. Although anxious for revenge, the Indians who had been attacked promised not to retaliate until they learned what the War Department planned to do to pacify the area.

The only Cheyenne battle that I know of in 1875 was with the 6th Cavalry on Sappa Creek in northwestern Kansas. There were the Red River Wars of 1874-75, and the 5th Infantry was involved but not the 5th Cavalry. apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA611972.pdfRed River Campaign Page 30 Lieutenant General Sheridan, knowing that the Indians would need to find a place that was ripe with water and from which they could hide, planned to have his departments converge on the edge of the Staked Plains from all sides and drive them out. Lieutenant General Sheridan’s vision was for a five-pronged attack involving both departments. First, from the Department of Missouri, Colonel Nelson A. Miles, commander of the 5th Infantry, would move south from Fort Dodge, Kansas with a force of 6th Cavalry and his 5th Infantry. From the west, Major William Redwood Price would come east along the Canadian River with his 8th Cavalry across the Staked Plains from Fort Bascom, New Mexico. From the Department of Texas, Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie would sweep northward with his 4th Cavalry from Fort Concho, Texas. Lieutenant Colonel George P. Buell would move northeast with his 11th Infantry from Fort Griffin, Texas. Finally, Lieutenant Colonel John W. Davidson, commanding at Fort Sill, Indian Territory would move west from that location with his 10th Cavalry, Buffalo Soldiers. ...... www.armyupress.army.mil/Portals/7/educational-services/staff-rides/StaffRideHB_AtlasofCheyenneWars.pdfThe Cheyenne Wars Atlas by Charles D. Collins, Jr. Combat Studies Institute United States Army Combined Arms Center Fort Leavenworth, Kansas Page 130 “The campaigns of 1868 and 1869 had shifted the Indian frontier to the south and cleared the land between the Platte and Arkansas Rivers of a serious Indian threat. On the Southern Plains, the remaining area of instability was Texas. There the Kiowa and Comanche raided almost unceasingly. Over time, a number of Cheyenne joined in the unrest. Eventually this would lead to another major Army campaign, The Red River War of 1874. However, disregarding a few minor incidents, the Cheyenne wars were over for the settlers of Kansas, Nebraska, and Colorado.”

“Is there any family living today or records i could take a look at?”
The only descendant of Chief Sleepy Eye that I a personally familiar with is Sleepy Eye LaFromboise. He was president of the student senate at Haskell Indian Nation University in Lawrence, Kansas about 35 years ago. Nowadays, he and his son, Eshtakaba, are both activists in Indian affairs. Two of Chief Sleepy Eye’s daughters were married to a French-Canadian fur trader named Joseph LaFromboise, and that is his lineage.
