Old Chief Smoke Reign; 1800-1864, Chief Man Afraid I Reign; 1851, 1864-1868, Old Bull Bear No Reign; 1834-1841.
Red Cloud Reign; 1868-1909, Chief Jack Red Cloud Reign; 1909-1928, Chief James Red Cloud Reign; 1928-1960, Chief Charles Red Cloud Reign; 1960-1979, Chief Oliver Red Cloud Reign; 1979-Present.
American Horse No Reign; 1895-1895.
Old Man Smoke was the Original Head Chief of the Teton Hunkpatila -Oglalas- and Lakota Sioux Nation. His reign for sixty-four years as the original head-chief and his reign was the longest reign ever of any head chief in the Lakota history; 1800-1864.
Old Bull Bear was not a head chief anytime during his life but was a headman and first chief of the Kiyaksa band of Eastern Teton -Hunkpatila- Oglala Lakotas; 1834-1841.
Man Afraid I was the first-born son of Smoke and was semi-appointed as the second main-head man and the next chief to led the people by Smoke at the treaty of 1851. When Smoke died in 1864 Man Afraid took over as the Original Head Chief. His reign was only four years and 1 month as the second original head-chief; 1864-1868. Young Man Afraid II was supposed to inherit the original line of the Leadership when his father Man Afraid I passed away in 1899.
Red Cloud was not supposed to be a high rank head chief or anything like that and Smoke didn’t authorize that Red Cloud would be a prominent chief, just as a warrior and some type of a minor-leader. But that all changed at the treaty of 1868 when the U.S. Government appointed him as the head-chief of all the Sioux, Red Cloud took it and ran with it. One of his first acts, he over throw Man Afraid I as the original head chief and try to exile him and other prominent chiefs and told the people that he was the chief now. His reign for forty-one as the new line of head chief and his reign was the second longest reign of any head chief in the Lakota history; 1868-1909.
American Horse was appointed by the hands of Agent McGillycuddy as the new head-chief of the Oglalas in 1895 at the Agency because the agent was trying to diminish the power of Red Cloud. But Red Cloud regains his power and continues the leadership. American Horse’s reign was short lived; 1895-1895.
Jack Red Cloud was the only son of Red Cloud and who took over as the head chief of Oglalas when his father passed away in 1909. He never became like his father or his status, but Jack’s reign for nineteen years as the chief; 1909-1928.
James Red Cloud was the Oldest of the two sons of Jack and became the head chief of Oglalas when his father died in 1928. He reign for thirty-two years as the chief; 1928-1960 and his reign was the third longest reign of any head-chief in the Lakota history. After his grandfather Red Cloud who reign for forty-one as the new head chief and his great-grandfather Old Chief Smoke who reign for sixty-four as the first original head chief.
Charles Red Cloud was the Youngest of the two sons of Jack and became the head chief of the Oglalas when his nephew Edgar (Edgar was the son of James) didn’t want the responsibilities of leading the people. So Charles took over as the head chief of the Oglalas when his brother James passed away in 1960. Charles reign for nineteen years as the chief; 1960-1979
Oliver Red Cloud is the oldest son of Charles and became the head Chief of the Oglalas when his father passed away in 1979. His reign thirty-one years now as the head chief and his reign is the fourth (soon to sure pass his uncle James’s thirty-two reign) longest reign of any head chief in the Lakota history; 1979-Present. Oliver is 90 years old now and he is a well-respected statesman amongst the Lakota people and Oliver is the chairman of the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council.
Oliver has two sons but his oldest son; Verdell died almost two years ago and his youngest son; Lyman who use to be really active in traditional politics, is now living in a nursing-home and is in bad health. Oliver has a nephew named Alfred Red Cloud; he is the minor-chief of a community called Collier on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and a headman of the Oglala people. But I think Alfred died last summer?
Some Lakota (Oglala) people said; “They kind of don’t like the Red Cloud family and want them remove from the traditional power!”
The first original line of the leadership.
Old Chief Smoke - Chief Man Afraid I - Chief Young Man Afraid II - Chief Frank Afraid of His Horses - Paul Afraid of His Horses - Ed Afraid of His Horses.
The second original line of the leadership.
Old Chief Smoke - Chief Solomon "Smoke" II - Chief Wendell Smoke - Melvin "Emil" Smoke -- Wendyll Smoke.
Frank and Wendell were the last chiefs of the Man Afraid and Smoke Families.
Paul died from a construction accident and Emil never succeeded to be the chief.
The two original lines of Oglala Leadership of today are;
Ed but he’s just a modern day warrior of the Toklala’s Warriors/Veterans Society and the keeper of Chief Man Afraid I’s Headdress.
Me; Wendyll, my uncles; Edward and Ben Smoke don’t want the responsibility, so that make me the next in line in the Smoke family (I’m the third oldest male –after my two uncles- out of the males in the Smoke’s line with the Smoke name). I never claim to be the chief or headman, maybe that’s later on in my life.
