I am searching for any information that I can find on Kangitanka. Born in Minnesota in 1835. I am especially interested in finding where he was during the uprising in 1862. I have placed his wife but can not find him. He was not on the list to be condemned in Mankato in 1862, he is not on the Ft. Snelling list of 1862.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Fancy1

I have looked on 2 Davenport Prison lists. I do not see Kangitanka on those lists or a Big Crow listed anywhere.
Sorry, I will keep my eyes open though.

Girls ,I checked the Scouts and soldiers list last night. He is not on it. I know that his name came up in the book I mentioned in another post. But I will be damned if I can find the page again. My photographic memory is going bonkers "telling me that yes he is mentioned in the book". It doesn't look like he was baptized while there at Fort Snelling.does he show up in Samtee at any tme after Fort Snelling?but then the person doesn't care where he was after the uprising,just where he was during the uprising, which is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

John B.'s journal says Ate ktepe omaka kin hetu...The year dad was killed (1864). It also says he (john b) had an older brother who died drowning in 1867. There was no names mentioned on tho. His mother (Oyewastewin) died in 1868.

please excuse my ignorance, but who is John B.?
I can now understand why I couldn't find anything on kangitanka at ancestry.com.
have you tried looking at the Records that are on that web site for Santee Agency?
My guess is he died at Santee. (My error. he either died in Minnesota, or at Crow Creek)I would look at the Santee Mission Register Book one, as there may be something about his death there. There may be something on Oyewastewin too.
I don't know if this means anything, but I found a Blue Cloud living in South Dakota on one of the Reservations(not Crow creek, Yanton, the Brules, or Pine ridge),in the 1900 or 1910 Census,. He was born in Minnesota @1835.when i tried to find
the actual census at the other web site I now use,I couldn't find it.

hi hermin. john b cloud is the father of moses cloud who married rebecca campbell. he also went by marpiyasunka (dog cloud) and sometimes the b states the word big. he was one of the founding fathers of flandreau, s.d. he had one arm, and wrote beautifully with the remaining hand. i believe he was a lay minister, and i know his son moses was also a lay minister. he was born in 1835, and he died in the 1900s. there seems to be many connections with jeremiah campbell. i wonder if they were related and i am looking into that possibility.

could Kangitanka have been serving in the Army in the Civil War at that time?

could Kangitanka have been serving in the Army in the Civil War at that time? That is a possibility I, for one, have never looked into. And it would make sense....John B.'s father "was killed" in 1864 yet he isn't on any prisoner list as far as the Uprising is concerned... |
