Chief Cotton Wood -Waga, Chief Cotton wood was involved in the Whitestone Massacre in 1863 in which some 150 to 300 Sioux Indians were killed. An Indian encampment was camped at Whitestone Hill (near Kulm, ND) 85 miles east of the Missouri River where the Yanktonais lived for 125 years between the James River and the Missouri River. They were at home planting, hunting, and harvesting for the coming winter. In 1862, the Minnesota uprising created concern about hostile Indians toward homesteaders in the Dakota Territory. Two regiments of Calvary were sent from Minnesota and Iowa to hunt Indians and put down any uprising in Dakota Territory. The Indian encampment was attacked and many Indians were killed over a three day period. Chief Waga survived the Whitestone Massacre and returned to Standing Rock. Jerome Cottonwood was at Fort Yates as early as 1870. Cottonwood is listed in the early Standing Rock Census of 1876 as head of the Cottonwood tiospaye (extended family) and tiwahe(family) among the Lower Yanktonais. He was listed as a Chief by the agency.
