Thank you to all who responded with information about Flying By. Would anyone know in what cemetery he would be buried?

In the book "The Untold Indian Story of Custer's Last Stand - Little Bighorn Remembered" by Herman J. Viola there are pictures of Lakota veterans of the Little Bighorn battle. One of them is Flying By. Is this the son of Lame Deer? Any information on Lame Deer's son, Flying By would be appreciated.

Who was Chief Standing Bear killed at Wounded Knee? I am assuming he was a Mnicoujou.

Any info on these children of Lone Horn would be appreciated; who they married, where they lived, their children, etc. What became of Frog after the Wounded Knee massacre? Was Standing Elk there?

Dietmar Thanks for your response. I was hoping someone on this site might know a Mniconjou elder or historian who could set the record straight. It is truly sad that the Wounded Knee Museum does not have the right picture of Chief Spotted Elk on display. What a disgrace.

Last year on vacation in the Black Hills area I stopped at the new Black Hills Visitor Center at Rapid City, SD. To my dismay the picture they had prominently displayed as Chief Big Foot was in fact Big Foot, the Oglala. I discussed this with the curator of the visitor center and was told research had gone into the photos displayed. She felt they were accurate photos of the various Indian chiefs.
This year when visiting the Wounded Knee Museum at Wall, SD, I was shocked to see a large picture of Big Foot, the Oglala, indicating he was Chief Big Foot. On the Wounded Knee Museum website a picture of Big Foot, the Oglala, is used.
Both pictures were labeled Chief Big Foot instead of Chief Spotted Elk.
What can be done about this?
