Josephine Waggoner listed High Bear as a chief in the Takini band of Upper Yanktonai. He also can be found in Standing Rock ration lists and censuses as a Yanktonai. In the 'Sitting Bull Surrender Census' of 1881 (edited by Ephriam Dickson) he is listed under 'Missing Families' on page 235. High Bear was a delegate to Washington in 1888. Yes, you are right - I have to correct myself. High Bear / Mato Wakantuya can be found in a Ration List for 28 July - 10 August 1885. He is No. 112 among the Upper Yanctonais and had 10 family members.

It is easy to see that the man with the weasel tail headdress (war Bonnet) is Yanktonai. Also by his shirt traded or gifted from the Hidatsa Hmmm, the most sources have High Bear (Mato Wakantuya) as Hunkpapa Lakota. We must also take into account that the clothing and feather bonnet may have been the property of the photographer. Do we have more on this man?

Forgive my ignorance, but I've lived on the west coast all my life, but Mom grew up on the Yankton reservation. On my great grandmother's appearances on the Indian Census Rolls, sometimes she is categorized as Yankton, and sometimes as Yanktonai. I'm guessing the census takers at that time didn't know the difference. My question is - great grandmother lived at Ft. Randall, then was given an allotment in the Yankton reservation. Does that make it most likely that she was Yankton, and not Yanktonai? The reservation is in the south east part of South Dakota. Can anyone clarify the difference between the two designations? Is it primarily geographical? One more thing. I keep reading that the Yankton are now considering themselves Dakota rather than the Nakota. Is that correct? Thanks to anyone for taking time to answer my queries. C This is what I know about your topic: On January 4, 1858, Yankton delegates met in Washington with Indian Affairs Commissioner Charles Mix. The first negotiations took place in March 1858 and a treaty was presented to the Yankton on April 19th. With this treaty, the Yankton were supposed to cede almost all of “their” land (in fact, the Yanktonai and Lakota also used this land) to the United States. The return was a reservation on the north bank of the Missouri (today: Yankton Indian Reservation in Charles Mix County, South Dakota) and other support services. Out of a land base of thirteen million acres, the Yankton people were left with just 400,000 acres. Ultimately, the Yankton sign the deal on their own and sold the land! Lakota and Yanktonai, but also traditional Yankton, are fuming. Of the approximately 2,000 Yankton around 1859, only 440 were adult men. In July 1859, “Old Struck-by-the Ree” led his people west to their new Reservation on the north bank of the Missouri, directly opposite Fort Randall. The reservation is primarily home to Yankton. A few Lower Yanktonais also seem to have settled there. Regarding the allotment on the Yankton Reservation: Immediately after the passage of the Allotment Act in February 1887, the allocation of personal property on this reservation began. This process is said to have been completed at the end of 1890. Faster than on any other reservation. According to your great-grandmother: If she was granted property on the Yankton Reservation, then there is some evidence that she was Yankton. When did your grandmother receive her allotment? Regarding Fort Randall: The fort was a purely military facility. Of course, she may have lived there with a spouse. Or was she interned there with one of the prisoners of war under Sitting Bull (Sept. 1881 - May 1883)? And be careful! Do not confuse Yankton County and Yankton City with the Yankton Indian Reservation! Map section from 1886 Map section from 1867 Map section from 1872 Greetings from Germany!

I am unable to view these old Yankton photos. What's the trick? I would very like to view the one "Left Hand - Yankton", as he was my great great grandmother's brother. For more Yankton / Yanktonai photographs, see here

Additional information: The sepia drawings were created by the Viennese painter Emma Libicka (1854 - 1913); she was the daughter of a ministerial official and had studied landscape and portrait painting at the School of Applied Arts in Vienna. She wrote her own texts for her drawings and wrote articles on natural sciences and cultural history for the “Neue Illustrirte Zeitung”. In this respect, the chronology around 1886 fits. With regard to CronauFrom 1881 to 1883, Cronau traveled throughout the United States as a special correspondent for "Die Gartenlaube", a German magazine. In this capacity he also visited the Standing Rock Reservation and Sitting Bull at Fort Randall. It is often said that Cronau brought a group of Lakota Indians to Germany in 1886 to have them perform in various places. But this is not clear. Some sources assume that Cronau was on a reading trip for his books "From Wonderland to Wonderland" and "Travels in the Land of the Sioux" (his books about the USA trip and the meetings with Sioux) when he joined the first Oglala Sioux troop led by Frank Harvey. The "Sitting Bull Sioux Indians (!)" consisted of 30 men, women and children, the sharpshooter Happy Jack Sutton and 16 horses. Performance locations included Berlin, Leipzig and Dresden. (more Lakota followed in 1887 under "Mexican Joe" and in 1889 under Doc Carver / ... and then Buffalo Bill came to Germany!) Source: "MenschenZoos:Schaufenster der Unmenschlichkeit" (HumanZoos: Showcase of Inhumanity), BoD 2019 "Illustrirte Zeitung, Leipzig, June 12, 1886" Can we identify the photos on which the etching is based?
In 1891 Cronau emigrated to America.

In 1932 the Sarrasani circus gave guest performances in Belgium and Holland. Between the dates in both countries there was a short guest appearance in Emden (Germany) (May 24th - 26th). One attraction of the circus was a Lakota group under their chief “White Buffalo Man”. During the guest appearance in Emden there were minor accidents and illnesses also took their toll.
58-year-old Lakota William Big Charger was hospitalized due to pneumonia or a fever. Despite the doctors' intensive efforts, Big Charger died there two days after arrival on May 27, 1932. William Big Charger was buried in Emden on May 30, 1932. He left behind his wife Lena Big Charger and at least one son (Albert) and one daughter (Norma). This is a photo from the funeral ceremony William Big Charger's gravestone in Emden (Germany) One of these Lakota is said to have been William Big Charger. But who?

Wizi
Nov 5, 2023 9:39:27 GMT -5
Post by gregor on Nov 5, 2023 9:39:27 GMT -5
Regarding Wizi, there are still mysteries that have not yet been solved. The late Ladonna noted in the post above that Wizi's father was Bone Necklace (1810 - ?) and his mother was Kimmitowin-White Butterfly (1811 - ?). In a forum I found the following entry: " ..the Fort Thompson Episcopal Church record listing Chief Wizi's (William French Wizi) parents as The Buck (M'Doka) and White Butterfly (Kimimi Towin). It was from his marriage in 1911 to Hannah White Dog (Unfortunately I no longer know the location where it was found).
Question: Who was Wizi's father? Are Bone Necklace and M'Doka the same person? Or did White Butterfly (Kimimi Towin) marry Bone Necklace after The Buck's (M'Doka) death in 1866?
Can anyone help here?
BTW: Kimmitowin = Kimimila To = Blue Butterfly, right?

Grahame, I would say that there is a certain similarity between Hairy Chin and your Crow Ghost. At least this similarity convinces me more than the first photo ("Lawrenece Crow Ghost"). But who knows ...

Yes, Hairy Chin is a bit of a shady person. This is what I have compiled over the years about Hairy Chin. Hairy Chin Hunkpapa/Yanktonais (?) (1820? – 1889) Iku Hin-la Hairy Chin - a brother of itancan Long Dog and a relative of Rain-in-the-Face - was a medicine man ("Bear Healer") of the Hunkpapa Lakota. Hairy Chin's father was known as Iron White Man (Source: Lawrence Crow Ghost) Hairy Chin was among the first to settle on the Standing Rock Reservation around 1870 (?). Along with his brother, he was one of the “Sitting Bull People” and was present at the Little Bighorn. There he (?) allegedly also introduced the young Oglala Black Elk into a first healing ceremony. The patient was Rattling Hawk, who had been injured during the Rosebud Battle. In October 1888, Hairy Chin was part of a Standing Rock delegation led by agent James McLaughlin that had been sent to Washington to negotiate land cessions. He was also photographed there by C. M. Bell. Hairy Chin was married to his wife Josephine. One daughter was named Elbow and one son was named Kangi Wanagi (Crow Ghost, also Lawrence Crow Ghost). One grandson was named Frank Hairy Chin. On July 4, 1889, Hairy Chin attended the Bismarck National Day parade dressed as “Uncle Sam.” Two days later, Hairy Chin died on the reservation. Possibly pneumonia. However, the Hunkpapa believed that it had something to do with the disguise. Apparently no hunkpapa has ever dressed up as “Uncle Sam” since. Donovin Sprague pointed out in his "Standing Rock book" that there were two Hairy Chin families on Standing Rock. Hairy Chin as Uncle Sam I have this man as Lawrence Crow Ghost Is this the daughter Elbow ?

Some Thoughts on Spotted Horn Bull I initially assumed that the photo of Spotted-Horn-Bull and his wife Good-White-Buffalo-Cow-Woman (a cousin of Sitting Bull) was taken during the so-called “Col. Allen’s Sitting Bull Combination” tour, in which the Spotted Horn Bulls took part. The Combination Tour took place from mid-September 1884 to early November 1884 (not a great success!). However, while looking through my photos, I came across the Sitting Bull family photo, which also shows Sitting Bull's mother. In this photo you can see the same carpet as in the Spotted Horn Bull’s photos. Spotted Horn Bull was not among the 172 Sitting Bull followers deported to Fort Randall in September 1881. McLaughlin's Annuity List from December 1881 shows that Spotted Horn Bull was listed in Bears Hat's Band at that time (No. 623). The photos (Spotted Horn Bull & Sitting Bull family) therefore cannot have been taken at Fort Randall. They were probably not taken until Sitting Bull's return to Fort Yates/Standing Rock in May 1883. Sitting Bull's mother died in 1884 (the exact date is not known). I'm assuming SB wouldn't have toured while his mother was getting ready to cross over to the other side. Maybe late 1883 or early 1884.
The photos were therefore probably taken between May 1883 and summer 1884. Does anyone have any idea who the photographer was or could be? Who was at Fort Yates at this time? Or maybe a traveling photographer?

hi Grahame, thanks for the images. I think the below actually could be Theodore Roosevelt who owned a ranch in what is today North Dakota ... View AttachmentDoes anyone have an idea what Mr. Ha-nook (?) on the right side of the grahamew picture could mean. Is this referring to the Lakota or the white man? Mr. Hancook / Hancock (?) or a nickname for James Cook?

Hi guys, Woman Dress YES! Roosevelt NO I think it is James Cook at his Agate Ranch! See Photograph In 1913/1914 Roosevelt stayed mostly in South and Central America. For example, he opened the Panama Canal. Whether he was ever at Cook's Agate Ranch - I couldn't find anything on that. Cook had become friends with Ogllalas and especially the Red Cloud family. For a long time, an annual meeting with Oglalas was held at the Agate Ranch. Roosevelt about 1914
