I am a 47 lakota Man, member of STANDING ROCK. What I'm asking here is any if all the info I could get about where my family began and with whom I'm related along side. BESIDES ALL OF YOU OF COURSE. . I am active in the Ojibwe culture at the moment. Via I'm in a sober living environment. Why I'm seeking my knowledge is, my plan is to enter the field of RECOVERY & for Our people I want to represent myself with the correct information about "Who DgBlackcloud is" and why they should take to my teaching on how to approach the walk down the Red Road,and how important it is that we Honor our past and strengthen one another with Patience,Love,Respect for who we are. Never ashamed to be corrected,so if anyone here can help me see,find,or learn more. I learned kinda who I was from a prison cell. And from what I gathered(which was very limited) is that my Grandfather was Patrick Blackcloud from STANDING ROCK,ND and my mom is Patricia Blackcloud,who was later adopted by my Grandmother's new husband.My Great Grandmother was from Rosebud, which I know very little of as well. But my MAIN FOCUS HERE IS TO FIND OUT WHO AND WHERE I CAN GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE "BLACKCLOUD" Family. Thank you all for the many prayers sent up for success of the future...because no one even knew I existed until right now. Thanks again Respect,Love & Light Donald G.

According to the Standing Rock Agency federal census for 1881, there was a man named Black Cloud, Mahpiya Sapa, who was head of a family in Mad Bear's band of Yanktonai or Ihanktonwanna. This Black Cloud was noted as 27 years old, so born about 1854. He had a wife age 24, born about 1857, her name given in Lakota as Ta-ti, translated as One Who Goes Out to Live It. They had two sons in their household, 7 year old Pejutaskana, White Medicine, and 4 year old Paul.
The census lists them as the second family after the band chief Mad Bear, who was an influential leader at Standing Rock. Perhaps there is a family connection, I don't know.
This census has been published in book form by one of American-tribe.com's most knowledgeable contributors, Ephriam Dickson, The Sitting Bull Surrender Census: The Lakotas at Standing Rock Agency, 1881, published by South Dakota Historical Society. Worth checking out in a library.
Hope this helps make a start.
