Hermin, I did the best I could to have those trees converted to jpeg. But, if you really want a good copy of them please send me an email with an email address and I will send you crisp clear copies of what Blue Cloud Abbey sent in pdf format. These, I guarantee, will be such great reference resources that you will be so pleased to have them as I am. There is one 17 X 11 page of the War Eagle/Bruguier tree, one 17 X11 of the Renville tree, and 6 pages of the Honore/Two Lance family tree's which included the progeny of Joseph Picotte and Paul Picotte. Do yourself a favor and everyone else who needs this info and send me your email address so that i can send you the copies of the originals. LJ

REGARDING OLD STRUCK'S WIVES: In Remember Your Relatives, vol. I,;
"Yanktons lived in stable kinship bands before missionaries arrived on the reservation. Before long, families divided when churchmen forced husbands with two wives to give up one of them. Chief Struck By The Ree may have lost several wives. According to tribal records, his first wife, Tatehenaptewin, (Whirlwind Bullalo Woman) either died or shared her well-known husband with three other wives." I can find no record of Whirlwind Buffalo Woman.
Hermin, in your post above, are you saying that Tawanaspaskewin and Mary Pretty Feather are sisters and the daughters of Struck By The Ree and that Padianopapi was the 2nd wife? And is there a reference you can share?
One other thing, you might check on Fr Madlon's Picotte Tree Relationship I. On the right hand side he lists Honore's wives. 1. Matilda Eaglewoman 1820. 2. Struck By Ree, Padianspapi's Sister who had Charles Francois. 3. Theressa Dochequotte. 4. Tawanaspekawin (White Necklace Woman) who had Mary White Bear, who married William Irving and had Joseph. She then married Tatiyopa and had Marie Santee.
I have 2 census schedules that you may find interesting re: Struck By Ree
Family 1461 - Pine Ridge - 1892 and 1893 ICS Long Soldier Louie Head abt 1847 Male Sioux South Dakota Louise Wife abt 1844 Female Sioux South Dakota Struck By Ree Mother abt 1803 Female Sioux South Dakota Jennie Struck By Ree Daughter abt 1876 Female Sioux South Dakota Lucy Struck By Ree Daughter abt 1878 Female Sioux South Dakota Oscar Struck By Ree Son abt 1882 Male Sioux
What is so interesting about Struck By Ree is that she is 89 in '92 and 90 in '93, she is caring for Jennie, Lucy and Oscar Ree. Of course she is not "mother" to these children but perhaps the sister of the "mother." I don't know but she is following Sioux "kinship law" with relation to these children.
She is living in the same household as Louis "Long Soldier" and Louise. Louise, daughter of Chief Red Cloud married "Long Soldier." This I find interesting. Anyone know anything about this relationship it would be great or why the Ree children have no parents. It is only two yrs since Wounded Knee which left many orphans.
I just thought this an interesting bit of history.
Thanks so much you have been very helpful.

Regarding John Ree and Mad Bull: John Black Eagle Ree, was the band chief of the Oyate Sica (Bad Nation) band after Mad Bull II died in 1875. John Ree was then followed by Frank Jandron (or Jandreau).
I cannot seem to find much about him either. It may be because his band was small in comparison to others. He had only approx. 100 in his band. He did sign the 1858 treaty and then died in 1866.
It seems both Mad Bull's were gone before the first Indian Census Schedules began in 1885 and for the Yanktons, 1886. I did read that the Yanktons received their first "reserve" with the signing of the 1858 Treaty but that there was an 1860 census taken then.
If anyone knows about these census counts it would surely be great if we could view these documents. I have seen on other blogs and genealogy sites people mentioning and siting census that was taken in 1850 and in 1860 and if my memory serves me right, 1870 as well. Does anyone out there know about these??? Thanks.

Any help would be appreciated even a direction or a clue. I am working here with very little.
1. John (Wambdisapa) Ree abt. 1820 married Julia (surname unknown) abt 1822. Together they had Sarah M. Ree b. 1877. Sarah married Joseph Bruguier, son of Theophile Bruguier and Dawn Anpao.
My question is: Does anyone know who John Ree's parents were?
I have just read a book called The Yankton Sioux by Herbert T. Hoover, where he states that John Black Eagle Ree was nephew to Struck By The Ree and that he served as a Scout for Gen. Sully during the Indian War of 1862 and then became a band chief.
Does anyone know which band of Yanktonai?
2. Pretty Rock, or Felix Brunot, born in 1852, succeeded his father as a band chief when he was only 13 years old and was the first Yankton to attend college. He died in 1920 and was the last Yankton Band Chief.
My question is: Which Yankton band was his father chief of and Pretty Rock lead after his father's death?
My understanding is that up until the 1880's there were 7 Yankton Bands, some of the bands had leaders chosen for them by the gov't.: 1. Iha Ishdaye - Mouth Greasers 2. Wagmuha Oin - Pumpkin Rind Earrings - Chief Medicine Cow 3. Igmu - Cat (people) - Chief Smutty Bear 4. Waceunpa - Roasters or The Ones That Cook 5. Cankute - Shooters At Trees 6. Oyate Sica - Bad Nation - Chief Mad Bull 7. Cagu - Lungs - Chief Struck By The Ree was succeeded by Chief Running Bull in 1888.
I just know some of you who are experts on Oyate may have some answers or clues. Thank you so much.

RE: FOUR BEARS - TWO KETTLE BAND FROM ANCESTRY GENEALOGY THE FOLLOWING:
Oohenonpa ('two boilings' ). A division of the Teton Sioux, commonly known as Two Kettle Sioux, or Two Kettles; also a subdivision thereof. No mention of it is made by Lewis and Clark, Long, or other earlier explorers. It is stated in a note to De Smet's Letters (1843) that the band was estimated at 800 persons. Culbertson (1850) estimated them at 60 lodges, but gives no locality and says they have no divisions. Gen. Warren (1856) found them much scattered among other bands and numbering about 100 lodges. Gumming (Rep. Ind. Aff. for 1856) places them on the south side of the Missouri. Hayden (1862) says they passed up and down Cheyenne river as far as Cherry creek and Moreau and Grand rivers, not uniting with other bands.
Their principal chief then was Matotopa, or Four Bears, a man of moderate capacity but exercising a good influence on his people. They lived entirely on the plains, seldom going to war, and were good hunters and shrewd in their dealings with the traders. They treated with respect white men who came among them as traders or visitors.
They were on the warpath in 1866 at the time of the Ft Phil. Kearney massacre, yet it is not certain that they took an active part in this attack. By treaty made at Ft Sully, Dak., on Oct. 19, 1865, they agreed to cease attacking whites or Indians except in self defense and to settle permanently on designated lands. This treaty was signed on their behalf by chiefs Chatanskah (White Hawk), Shonkahwakkonkedeshkah (Spotted Horse), Mahtotopah (Four Bears), and others, and was faithfully observed by them unless they were in the Sitting Bull uprising of 1876, which is doubtful.
Neither contagion nor war materially reduced the number of the Oohenonpa, which seems to have remained comparatively stationary up to 1887, when it was reported as 642, the last separate official enumeration. They reside on Cheyenne River reservation, South Dakota, with Sihasapa, Miniconjou, and Sans Arcs.

For those of you who love researching the law as I do, this maybe of interest: books.google.com/books?id=XyRULuEVtUYC&pg=PA308&dq=John+Bruguier&as_brr=1&ei=kYthSaTOGorONcGsoZUI#PPR5,M1 While researching the story of Johnny "Big Leggins" Bruguier, I happened to come across this document published by the Dept. of Interior in the year of 1888.

HONORE PICOTTE Barbara and Ann write: Hello Lavanah - thank you again for your your wonderful warm hospitality ...the stew was delicious! Anyway, I was sooooo tired, and wanted to go to bed, but pulled one more book called "The Fur Trade on the Upper Missouri 1840 - 1865" by John E Sunder copyright 1965.
There I finally found a picture (looks like an oil painting?) of Honore Picotte! I am so excited and happy! On page 92, it confirms that Joseph Picotte (who is related to Annie Fiske - I just can't find that piece of paper now that explains - I think he was her grandfather??) was Honore's nephew. It says "Joseph Picotte...was a nephew of the French-Canadian trader Honore Picotte..." (source = Honore Picotte to Pierre Chouteau Jr and Company, June 16, 1846, Ft. Pierre Letter Book, 1845-1846.) I also have been looking through all the notes Grandmother left Dad - I need several weeks to go through all this. I will scan one sheet and send under separate cover...it talks about four Indians that Honore was married to. It also says that Honore's son Charles Felix was first married to a woman named "Merciful" who bore him Peter Picotte. Merciful died short after her marriage. enjoy, Barbara

Hermin,
I just received this bit of information from Barbara Harmon in an email referencing a book she found on her fathers bookcase:
"...it talks about four Indians that Honore was married to. It also says that Honore's son Charles Felix was first married to a woman named "Merciful" who bore him Peter Picotte. Merciful died short after her marriage."
I then proceeded to the English to Dakota dictionary and looked up Merciful and it is spelled Waonsida. So Waonsidawin is Merciful. Thank you so much for your input Hermin. You are truly appreciated by all.

Wedding Dresses Wincincala First Communion THE GAGE AND TRAVERSIE WEDDING DRESSES From Timberlake Historical Society The story of the wedding dresses and most of the other items in this display begins in 1873 when Charles. H. Gage married Wi~cih~ca~la ( pronounced Wincincala, meaning Pretty Girl). At that time Charles Gage was a young post trader at Fort Bennett on the southeast corner of the reservation set aside for the Sans Arc, Two Kettles, Minnekoujou and Blackfoot bands of Lakota. According to their daughter, the late Fannie LaPlante, Wi~cih~ca~la was 14 years old when Charles asked for their daughter. The arrangements must have been made by Wi~cih~ca~la’s uncle, The Leaf, who accepted a horse and outfit along with some grub money for the hand of the young girl. After they were married Mr. Gage took her to his “good home” to live. Wi~cih~ca~la’s parents are believed to have been Broken Leg and Bracelets. Wi~cih~ca~la had a sister who may have been her twin who was later known by Wi~cih~ca~la’s children as Blind Grandma and a brother, Medicine Horse, who ended up on the Pine Ridge Reservation.Charles Gage was born in New York City in 1847. He enlisted in the army on July 23, 1868. Records show that he was discharged the following year. By 1870 he was working as a post trader at Fort Randall in Dakota Territory. He went on to be postmaster at White Swan on the Rosebud reservation. While there he met and married an Indian girl named White Face Woman. They had one child, a girl named Harriet Marion Gage, born on February 22, 1872. While at White Swan, Gage received notice that he had been appointed to be the postmaster at Cheyenne Agency (Fort Bennett). When Wi~cih~ca~la went to live with Charles she became known as Mary or simply Mrs. Gage. According to Fannie, her father employed a Negro woman as housekeeper. “This woman taught Mom how to cook and survive all other things,” wrote Fannie. Wi~cih~ca~la’s first child, a son named Parker Gage, was born on December 18, 1873. Their first daughter, Anna Catherine, was born on April 18, 1875. According to Dennis Moran, by the time she was 18 Wi~cih~ca~la had two children and was handling customers and trade at her husband’s store. Moran referred to her as “Mrs. Gage” in his account of those years. In the spring of 1877 Charles Gage and Dennis Moran and others were sent up river by steamboat to establish a trading post near where the Custer fight had occurred in Montana. The steamboat took them up the Missouri River and down the Yellowstone River and as far as the mouth of Porcupine Creek on the Powder River. A second daughter Fannie was born on August 12, 1877 while the family was at that location on the Crow Agency. According to Fannie’s account, her father did not like the conditions in Montana and arranged to send his wife and three children back to Fort Bennett. He hired four white men to accompany his family. Their mode of transportation was a flat boat. Charles and some Indian scouts came overland on horseback. They arrived about two months later. The Negro servant woman was waiting for them at the little cottage when they returned. According to Fannie, her father put up a store and bought a hotel at Fort Sully, not far from Fort Bennett, where they all moved to in 1879. In August of 1879, Charles Gage was killed in runaway horse accident. According to published accounts of the accident, he courageously saved the two children who were with him at the time before he was trampled and dragged to death. Wi~cih~ca~la had just turned 21. Mrs. Gage and her children continued to live at their “homestead” on the Little Cheyenne River across the river from the agency for several years. At that point Wi~cih~ca~la married “The Irishman” Richard Dunn and according to Fannie sold the “homestead” and moved onto the reservation. She and Richard Dunn had a son, Ambrose “Smokey” Dunn, born in 1887. The marriage certificates and first born in union certificate indicate that Wi~cih~ca~la (Annie) and Richard Dunn were married in the church on September 14, 1891. The wedding dresses that are on display, along with most of the other items in this display, belonged to descendants of Charles Gage and Wi~cih~ca~la. They help tell the story of their family and the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation. In 1895 Anna Gage married Andrew Traversie, the oldest son of Paul Traversie and Mary Bruguier. Paul’s father and mother were Augustus Traversie and Felicette Scar Arm (Picotte) DuSant. Mary’s parents were Theophile Bruguier and Blazing Star (Fires The Cloud Woman) War Eagle.In 1897 Parker Gage married Amelia Rose Traversie, the daughter of Ambrose “Gus” Traversie and Catherine Mary Benoist. Ambrose was Paul’s brother. In 1895 Fannie married Charles “Charlie” LaPlante, the son of Louis LaPlante, Sr. and Nancy Garreau.The above information was taken from a short history of her folks written by Fannie LaPlante late in her life and a biography of Charles H. Gage compiled by his great-grandson, Arlon B. Gage, in 2000.
