Indian Council – 1908 at Pierre, SD
Standing (back row left to right): Major Bentley, Little Shield, Lone Eagle, Iron Lightning, Fish Gut, Charging First, and G. H. Jaynes
Seated (left to right): Brown Thunder, C. H. Englesby, Governor R. S. Vessey, Colonel Alfred Sydney Frost, Yellow Owl, Giles Tapetomwan or Tapeola (interpreter)
Seated or kneeling on floor: Feared by Enemy, Puts on His Shoes, White Bull
According to an honor’s thesis written by Bertha Eichel in 1931 entitled A History of South Dakota During the Administration of Governor Robert S. Vessey from 1909-1913 it states:
During the period from 1909 to 1913 South Dakota seems to have made progress. Probably the most notable event in 1909 was the opening of the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Indian Reservations in Corson County and the adjacent part of North Dakota, on October 4. In the Indian Treaty of 1908, agreements for the purchase of surplus lands upon the Cheyenne River and Standing Rock Reservations in South Dakota were made with the Indians. This was approved by an act of March 29, 1908. There were about ten thousand homesteads for which 80,142 persons registered.
