Good Hawk

[eljay]

Hi Hin Tamaheca and everyone,

I came across a beautiful photograph of a Hunkpapa named Good Hawk, 1872, and was wondering if anyone here knows anything about him. I am unable to post the photo here but am hoping Hin Tamaheca can do so for me, as I think he posted the photo, but can't remember just where I found it. I found the name in the book To Kill An Eagle by the Kadleceks and in it Charles Fire Thunder mentions his grandfathers name as Good Hawk. Looking for ancestors........

Thanks
eljay

eljay,

here´s Good Hawk´s portrait by Alexander Gardner in 1872:

I think we had at least one other photo of Good Hawk, but I can´t find it. Grahame perhaps?

Is he the third man from the left?
This was identified on Cowans as a photo of Dakota Indians, but I wonder if it's not connected to the 1872 delegation

Thanks Grahame!

Yes, I think it´s him.

Dietmar and Grahamew, and LaDonna,

Thanks for posting these wonderful photos of Good Hawk. The third picture is very interesting but I myself cannot say that looks like Good Hawk. I did find a Good Hawk on Ancestry, 1900 Census-Standing Rock Reservation. I was wondering if LaDonna has access to any further info on Good Hawk and his spouse/children. I know that his father was born in North Dakota and his mother in Manitoba, according to 1900 census.

Thanks again.

Hello.

I see on the delegation thread on this site that Good Hawk was a member of the Milk River Delegation from Montana.

Also, I see his name on the talks of the 1888 agreement at fort peck. if i am not mistaken he gets up and speaks on behalf of the young men of the camp.

Is that Hairy Chin next to the man I've identified (possibly) as Good Hawk?

[eljay]

Hi LaDonna,
Thanks so much for all the info on Good Hawks and Fire Thunders. I knew I would get help here! I love this website. Your effort is greatly appreciated. The Yanktonais Cetan Waste looks like a good place to start.

thanks to everyone,

Ive stumbled upon your conversation and I was wondering if you could find where my family gets the Last Name Wounded Knee from, I found a article in a Cowboys&Indians Magazine, that said there was a man Wounded Knee who would camp at this white womans farm and trade things...
