Rosebud Group with Superintendent Claude C. Covey

[gregor]

In my archive I have this picture of a Rosebud Group. The only identified person is Superintendent Claude C. Covey, who was at Rosebud from 1918 to (about) 1920.
Can we identify the pictured persons. I made a start, but the only people who are safe are Little Hawk, son of Two Strike and High Hawk, son of Battiste Good.
Here is the photograph and suggestions for some of the others.

About 1902 Claude C. Covey worked as teacher at Pine Ridge. Later he was promoted to Superintendent and worked at Warm Springs (Oregon, 1909-10), at Standing Rock (1915).
According to the Jamestown Weekly Alert (Jamestown, North Dakota, 15 Mar 1917) he was transferred from Standing Rock to Rosebud.

Hey Gregor, great idea. The photo has been printed in Claes Jacobson`s "Rosebud Sioux" book.


- standing far left (but cut out of your scan, only an arm is visible) is Follows The Woman.

- standing fourth from left in the original picture (with dark suit, bonnet and medal) is Bull Man.

- the three men standing far right are Little Hawk, Bear Dog and High Hawk.

- Little Bald Eagle and High Horse can be confirmed.


I´ll try to look for more names...

Not 100% sure, but I would guess that the second man from the left, sitting, is Hollow Horn Bear.

[Dietmar]

Hreinn, Hollow Horn Bear had passed away some years earlier. Must be another man.

The man left of Little Hawk does resemble Daniel Pretty Bird, a Washington delegate in 1925.

OK.

Greetings from France ,
What is known about Little Bald Eagle ,the man we can see on the picture above ?
Is he the same man who ,according to the genealogical tree given by Lone Bull to Donald Collier ,was at the head of a big family 7 sons ( 6 belonging to the Skokpa , one to the Kiyuska proper) and a daughter wife of Pawnee Killer .
If it is the same Little Bald Eagle, I would like to learn more about this man :Tribe (not specified by Lone Bull ) and all what is possible about his life !

Interesting observation that Pawnee Killer's father-in-law, Little Bald Eagle, could have been a Sichangu Lakota.
That would explain in part or fully that some Sichangu lodges were sometimes mentioned as camping with Pawnee Killer.

In 1896, a group of 89 Sichangu people were invited to Cincinnati, Ohio to participate in a Wild West Show.
In June 1896, the Sichangu group arrived in Cincinnati by a train with their lodges and horses.
The Sichangu group camped in Cincinnati for 3 months.
The Sichangu group was a mixture of men, women and children, i.e. families
If we allow 4-7 persons per family or lodge, it means ca. 13-22 Sichangu lodges or families camped in Cincinnati, Ohio during the summer 1896.
Like often/always, you suspect that these families were related.

Among these 89 Sichangu people, were at least 2 sons of Iron Shell, i.e. Young Iron Shell and Goes to War.
There was also a person identified as Little Bald Eagle.
I wonder if Little Bald Eagle was related to Iron Shell's family.

Below are links to 2 PDF-files by Susan Labry Meyn about this 1896 visit of the Sichangu familes to Cincinnati, Ohio.

2. Susan Labry Meyn; "CINCINNATIANS AND AMERICAN INDIANS TO 1900", Enduring Encounters

In both of these PDF-files by Meyn, are photos of a person identified as Little Bald Eagle.
In [1] on page 37.
In [2] Figure 9 on page 35,
Little Bald Eagle in these 2 PDF-files by Meyn is obviously the same person.
But Little Bald Eagle in these PDF-files by Meyn, does not look alike Little Bald Eagle who is supposedly on the photo above in the first post of this thread.
It might be because of a different age of the same person or the Meyn's Little Bald Eagle is a son of older Little Bald Eagle.
I am not sure when the above group photo in the first post in this thread was taken.
But the photos in the 2 PDF-files by Meyn were taken in 1896.
