The Walking eagle family are located in the Crow Hill District on the Spirit Lake reservation (west of Fort Totten city)
As far as I know the name arrived perhaps in the 1940's. The Crow Hill district originally were composed of Hunkpati and Yankton. The Cut-heads all left for CannonBall, ND (Standing Rock).
The original Walking Eagle band came from Fort Peck,Montana

What about this picture? The man on left called Black Prairie Dog can hardly be the same man as Walking Eagle aka Black Prairie Dog of the 1888 delegation, because there are 20 years between these photos, or am I wrong? But is he perhaps related?  |

Here is a comparison... two portraits of Black Prairie Dog in 1918 (left) and two portraits of Black Prairie Dog aka Walking Eagle in 1888 (right):  |

Wow this is cool! I would imagine it would be him since he is standing with Chief Red Fish. To my knowledge they both attended the 1888 delegation, and they are both Yanktonai

Sorry for my bad math, but there are 30 years between these pictures. If it´s him in all four pictures, I'd estimate him to be about 60 years old in 1888 and about 90 years old in 1918. Would that still make sense? Btw, there seem to be some more photos of Black Prairie Dog in the Frank Fiske collection: www.history.nd.gov/archives/manuscripts/inventory/1952.html |
