Black Rock I born c. 1780 a ‘son’ of Bad Wound, killed c. 1807
His young brother take name Black Rock and was killed in 1810.
Black Rock I son was Black Rock III.
Black Rock was from an influential family among the Tasnaheca (one of the larger bands within the southern Oglala or Kiyaksa Tiyospaye) and one source suggests that he may have been the brother of the noted Oglala headman Bad Wound.
He Dog gave his mother’s name as Blue Day, a sister of Red Cloud and a member of the Kuinyan band. Short Bull gave his mother’s name as Scatter the Feather. It is unclear with the current sources available if Blue Day and Scatter the Feather are different names for the same woman or if perhaps Black Rock had two wives.
Kingsley has noted in his research that there were a number of marriages between families from the Tasnaheca and Kuinyan Oglala bands, suggesting that it was out of these marriages that the Ite Sica or Bad Faces first arose, with Red Cloud eventually emerging as the most prominent leader among them. Black Rock and his young family appear to have left the southern Oglala and joined the Bad Faces as they came to prominence. While the Southern Oglala had shifted their primary hunting grounds to the Republican River region following the killing of Bull Bear in 1841, the Hunkpatila Tiyospaye or what later became known as the True Oglala remained in the Fort Laramie area, hunting to the north in the Powder River country. The Bad Faces grew during the 1850s and 1860s to become one of the most influential bands ("head band") among the True Oglala.
He Dog was born about 1840 on the head of the Cheyenne River near the Black Hills; Short Bull was born about 1852 near Fort Laramie. Black Rock died (or was killed) while Short Bull was young, perhaps in the 1850s, and the youngest boy was raised as an orphan. Short Bull, however, enjoyed a large extended family with a number of “brothers” like He Dog that “stuck together” as interpreter John Colhoff has noted. It is important to note that the Lakota word generally translated into English as “brother” actually has a more expanded definition in Lakota culture. In addition to Short Bull’s male siblings like He Dog, the term also refers to the male children of his father’s brother, part of the extended kinship system among the Lakota. So when we refer to the “brothers” of He Dog and Short Bull, it is important to bare in mind that these might include kin we would refer to as cousins. Colhoff and others have included Bad Heart Bull, Eagle Hawk, Running Eagle, Little Shield, High White Man and Soldier Hawk as some of those other “brothers.”
Together, these brothers formed a new band among the Bad Faces called the Cankahuhan or Soreback Band. You can think of the Sorebacks as either a smaller grouping (wicotipi) among the Bad Faces or as a split-off of the Bad Faces that maintained a close relationship with its parent band.
Is there any more information about the Black Stone I and his family?
