Greetings from France , I had recently found this picture of a man apparently called Two Bears ! Beside the photo we could read that he was involved in the 1863 battle of WHITESTONE hill ,he survived and went back to Standing Rock where he served as an interpreter at the july 1867 Treaty commission meeting et Fort Rice . Later he signed the Laramie Treaty in 1868 and took part in the LBH fight ! But I have a big doubt because I cannot find his name in the list of the treaty signatories ( there is a "Two Bear" Yanktonnai but surely not our man ) and of the participants at the LBH . So who his this man on the photo ?

He's number 10 in their list of portraits of chiefs and is grouped with the Lakota. More than that, I don't know. I don't see a Two Bears in the Crazy Horse Surrender Ledger so maybe the name was mistranslated in the first instance.
