i guess i have to ask what you mean by?
Especially as RT offspring seems many nowadays (whereas ST's is none existant or almost..)Right now at least half of the 17 Tribal Council members for Standing Rock are relatived to Sitting Bull.
hello Ladonna
Your comment surprises me also as by european standards the name would have died with the murder of Crowfoot.
Anyway as I read through the posts here everybody over there seems related to everybody somewhere so I'm not surpised that all blood lines count, especially for such a great man (as SB), even far far away grand grand sons from nephews and stepsons.
The Smithsonian had a hard time finding just one last direct relative with E. Lapointe to hand over those leggings. Please correct if I'm wrong.
Anyway I don't care much about all that genealogy seeking if it does not referr to historical points of interest : for the record : one had many children whilst the other's only son was murdered, just to add to all the other long range of sickening details of that horrible december morning.

you use written accounts all over this website, 99% is written information used on the posts over here. lucky some where there to write something down late 19thies. I don't see what you think appreciated.
If you would stick to ledgers, wintercounts and oral history you can just keep on guessing whom all those photos you're tracing are from.
Anyway it would be great occasion to have this oral account of the RT family. But it would be just another account and not THE account, that's what I ment so say...
To everyone free to come to his conclusions.
I would be happy to change mine's...
Let see if i can answer this as correctly to what you are asking?
The Standing Rock Sioux did try and make a claim to the Smithsoniann it took four years for them to see who had the closest claim which would be Ernie Lapoint.
