Does anyone have any information about Ptewakannajin Holy Standing Cow pictured in the ledger drawings. There is a Yankton Chief with the same name, and a son of Itewakinyan Thunderface a Sisseton Chief. Three men with the same name?

Reverend Henry T. Selwyn (Tawanapinwakaŋ = His Sacred Necklace) was born among the Yankton Dakota 1846 - 1913. He was almost a grown when he learned to read and to attend church. He attended Mission Schools at the Yankton Agency and studied theology with Reverend John P. Williamson and at the Theological Class at Santee Training School in Nebraska. He was licensed to preach in 1878 and ordained by Dakota Presbytery in 1879. He married Betsey and fathered five children. He became Pastor of the Church at the Yankton Agency (Greenwood) in 1882, was Stated Supply for Hill Church (Pahata) and Cedar Church (Ĥante) in 1887. He also labored some at Lower Brule Agency. He died on January 11, 1913 and is buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery at Marty, South Dakota. (Lewis 1984: 15; Dickson 2014).
His father was Chief Medicine Cow 1819 – 1901 (PtesanWakanNajin = Holy Standing White Buffalo Cow) of the Pumpkin Rind Earring Band (WakmuhaOin), who was prominent in the leadership of the Yankton Nation, being the leader of the largest band of the Yankton Nation with a population of 313.

In 1881 he meets with Sitting Bull (his relative) and obtained permission to take the census of the Standing Rock Reservation. Subsequently became a school teacher at Yankton and an Episcopal Missionary at Pine Ridge Agency and was present during the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890 (Mooney 1996:160, 182). In 1892 he signed the Agreement to relinquish unallotted land as WicahaOkdeUn (Uses a Raccoon Skin Coat), became a Yankton Tribal Council member in 1895 and an Agency Farmer in 1899. Died August 15, 1905, buried in the Episcopal Cemetery at Greenwood, SD (Dickson: 2010 9-12).
