My Name is Joyce (Little White Dove) Pacifico
John Alden Clark (John Red Cloud) is my Grandfather, born on the Rosebud Reservation 9/22/1894.
I have a family Tree going on Ancestry.com, what I have learned so far;
According to Census reports: 1910 Shows Race: Red (Native American) He was 4years old.
Father Jack Red Cloud
Mother Nancy Red Cloud
At the age of 15 Allen W Clark and His Wife Ruth C Walker picked him up and took him to Minnesota. Census report 1910 shows Race: White
This verifies stories my Grandfather has told me. He was on the Reservation until He was 15 with his mother.
All of the Pow Wow’s we went to he was John Red Cloud. He was a quite gentle man. I was told about being the schools and how he was treated.
U.S. Indian Census Schedules, 1885-1940 for Nancy Red Cloud, John Red Cloud, is not longer listed. That confirms that he is no longer listed as Native American.
Back then they did not have regular adoptions, they just changed there names. My name was changed the same way.
His sister was also removed, She retain her Native Heritage.
Any information you may have or help in finding any, would greatly be appreciated
Thank you
Joyce
