Bad Heart Bull, Amos c1868-1913 Noted Oglala Lakota artist and historian. Born about 1868 or 1869, Amos was the son of Bad Heart Bull (Tatanka Cante Sica) and his wife Red Blanket (Tasina Luta win). Amos' father was a brother of the headman He Dog and a nephew of the famous Oglala chief Red Cloud. Known as Eagle Bonnet (Wanbli Wapaha) as a young man, Amos grew up living the traditional life of the Oglala. His family belonged to an Oglala camp known as the Soreback Band. He was eight years old when Custer's column attacked the large Indian village in the famous Battle of the Little Bighorn. At the end of the Great Sioux War of 1876-77, the Bad Heart Bull family surrendered at the Red Cloud Agency on April 18, 1877, several weeks before Crazy Horse. Following the killing of Crazy Horse in September 1877, the family stampeded with other northern Oglala to the nearby Spotted Tail Agency. The family then fled north with other Oglala, eventually joining Sitting Bull in Canada. The Bad Heart Bull family probably returned to the U.S. with other Oglala who surrendered at Fort Keogh in 1880. They were transferred to the Standing Rock Reservation in 1881 and the following spring, sent home to join the rest of the Oglala at the Pine Ridge Reservation. findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1026/is_5_164/ai_111185592www.rootschat.com/links/03ws/

Heres an unusual woman ....... ! Ptesanwanyakapi (Josephine Crowfeather) - Hunkpapa Sioux Josephine Crowfeather was born to the Hunkpapa chief, Joseph Crowfeather, near the Standing Rock Agency in the Dakota Territory (now North Dakota), in 1867. Her father carried her into battle for protection as a newborn, and when they both returned unharmed, she was given the name Ptesanwanyakapi - "They see a white buffalo woman". From that time forward, she was regarded by her people as a sacred virgin. While very young, Crowfeather dreamed of carrying on the work of Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Mohawk nun, in working to establish a Native Christian sisterhood. She went to the Benedictine Sisters' School in North Dakota for 4 years, and was able to study to become a Sister with an Iroquois Catholic priest who shared her vision of fulfilling the work of The Lily of the Mohawk - Kateri. With 5 other Sioux women, she attended the Benedictine academy in Minnesota, and went on to take her vows in 1890. Her first assignment at a mission school in South Dakota did not go well due to internal disharmony within the noviate, and her group of Sisters was transferred to a new convent on the Ft. Berthold Reservation. This community of Sisters followed the Benedictine disciplines and became known as The Congregation of American Sisters. The year after establishing this group, Crowfeather was elected founding prioress-general and was given the title of "Mother". She was now known as Mother Mary Catherine, and with her group, worked among the Arickara, Gros Ventre and Mandan teaching English, caring for the sick and carrying on their missionary work. Crowfeather died of tuberculosis at the age of 26, in 1893. The community she had founded survived for an additional 7 years after her death, and did grow to a total of 12 members. The determination to pave the way for an order of Native Sisters in the face of continuing poverty, illness and racism on every front has served as an inspiration through the years to all those who share this calling. www.meyna.com/sioux.htmlAnd some more ....

I know each tribe had Medicine women ... but I can't find specific names of the women ... can anybody else ? Medicine Women When the general public thinks of Native healers and "physicians", the words "Medicine Man" seems to naturally fall out of their mouths. Guess what? This is another situation where there was no gender bias, and there were just as many Medicine Women as Medicine Men. Each Nation, tribe and village had medicine people; whether male or female was of no consequence. Children who were born with the gift of healing were taken by the medicine person as a young child and taught healing ways. They were taught to recognize the healing plants, trees, roots, berries and wild herbs. They were taught how to make poultices, teas and other healing foods. Medicine Women were the local psychologists, therapists, physicians and marriage counselors. In some tribes, the Medicine Women were given the responsibility of making the warriors' shields for it was believed that she had special powers that would give those war shields added protection for the owners. The practicing of medicine ways was a full time job for the responsibility for the well-being and emotional balance of the villagers belonged to the Medicine Woman. In return for her services, she was cared for by the members of the village. She always had food, shelter, her needs met, assistance when it was needed, and special spirit gifts that showed the honor and respect of her people. This was how the Medicine Women were "paid". The art of being a Medicine Woman has not been lost. There are more practicing Medicine Women alive today than ever before using the same old natural ways combined with the new technology that has been developed. There are herbalists, naturalists, aroma therapists, massage therapists - those who teach spirituality, awareness, meditation skills - and on and on. The Medicine Woman continues to care for her family and loved ones with all the tools available to her so they can walk in balance, and live life in health and harmony. May it ever be so. Aho. Annie
