Hello, I was reading Robert Utley: Last Days of the Sioux and in the book he mentions a group of Hunkapapa totalling 73 individuals. These 73 being comprised of 2 separate groups that left Standing Rock after the killing of Tatanka Iyotake. One group (28 in number) peeled off of Big Foots travelers and headed east toward the Missouri River and then ran into the other 45 coming west south west toward. Both groups running from the fight with the Indian Police...........they were guided around the wounded knee massacre during that day and brought just south of it to Pine Ridge Agency to the military personnel there (7th cavalry). Surrendered and chose to take allotments north of Pine Ridge at what was called the "Scout Camp"............It mentions that there were widows in the group from the fight at Tatanka Iyotake cabin on the grand river but does not name them.
I was wondering if anyone had a list of these 73 or a place where I can find the list? Appreciate it..........
