Does anyone know whether Sitting Crow of the Sihasapa is the same person as the "Chief Crow" who signed the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty? This Chief Crow is identified as Oglala in the treaty text given in Kappler. Have the Sihaspa been subsumed by the Oglala in this document or is this a different person? A Chief Grass is also a signer and identified as Oglala, but surely he is also the Sihasapa leader of this name.
I'd be very grateful for some clarification on what is going on here.

Chief Grass who signed the treaty at Fort Laramie in 1868 was actually an Oglala (Loafer Chief). He is not identical to John Grass or his father Grass/Used as a Shield, both Sihasapa. The Oglala Grass was also photographed by Alexander Gardner in 1868. So all three can be easily identified. Unfortunately I don't have access to my archive at the moment. Could post the pics in a few days though.
