Hello. I found there were at least, am not certain, but at least 12 Wahpeton villages in 1862. Someone correct me on this lol...... So I will post each village and number it along with this message. So, someone jump in and help me out. I will post them like...Village 1. or Village 2. with the name of the leader of the people. So, here goes.
Mahpiya Wicasta - Cloud Man or Man of the Clouds
This village was located 5 or so miles up the Yellow Medicine river from the Agency. I do not know his it was this chief or the Mdewakantowan chief with the same name that was killed at Fort Berthold by the Arikaras during a peace and unification attempt by Little Crow in 1862. So, really need some other input on this man and his descendants.

According to Mark Diedrich (in "Standing Buffalo", page 61) it was the Wahpeton Cloud Man, who was killed by Arikaras in 1862. Light Face was his successor then.
Cloud Man´s sons were Solomon Two Stars or Wicanrpinonpa and He Who Brings What He Wants or Ecetukiya. His brother was Paul Mazakutemani aka Little Paul.
