I've been requesting information on some more obscure Lakota individuals lately, unfortunately without much luck, but I'll keep plugging away! Here's another one:
Looking for information, specifically band affiliation and year of death, on a Lakota man named Spotted Antelope. I tend to believe he is Hunkpapa. I have two primary source references, although I'm not sure if this is the same individual:
1. He is named as one of the possible killers of Custer, in Viola's 'Little Bighorn Remembered'
2. In Long Soldier's winter count for 1877/78 he was killed by Crows
I haven't seen him listed in the surrender ledgers (which would support his death in 1878) nor in the various lists of warriors present at the LBH battle, but maybe I've overlooked something.
Note: he is not the same individual as the Cheyenne Spotted (or White) Antelope.
Thanks!
