Hi, could someone help me obtain more information on John and Mary No Eyebrows, I found them on a 1900 Census on Ancestry.com, but need more links. John No Eyebrows (istasnista) DOB 1843 in Minnesota, Mary No Eyebrows (Wicahpiwastewin) DOB 11/1847 in North Dakota DOD 11/33. I am helping my husband. Thanks derockbraine1

Wicahpiwastewin translates to Good Star woman.I would like to see that census.

try contacting eunicedavidson50. she has some information on wicahpiwstewin.There are more than one Good Star Woman, I have found. The one at Sisseton was named Wicanrpiwatewin, and she was married twice.her father was Sihahanska(Longfoot).

Update8/001/2006
there are 3 Wicamhpiwastewins I thinK:
the above, then there is the one mentioned in "Through Dakota Eyes" that died @1930 in Minnesota, and I believe she may be the one that is also mentioned in "the Dakota sioux Internment At Fort Snelliing, and finally Maggie good Star woman who wound up at Santee, married Thomas Wakute and died in 1873. They had a son named Thomas Wakute(Jr.)

Thanks hermin1, there is a Wicahpiwastewin, daughter of Sihanska, but I don't think they are the same one, they have different birthdates. I am interested in John No Eyebrows also since he was born in Minnesota. derockbraine1

yes, I know. the other one died in Minnesota in the 1930's I believe. that is the one eunice is trying to track down. Have you by chance read Through Dakota Eyes? Her biography is given in that reference. she gives some remininces about the Internment at ft. Snelling inthe reference the Dakota Sioux Internment at Fort snelling,1862-1864.Try looking for her under her english name Dora Blacksmith. Eunice and I wondered how she ever got that English name.
the one at sisseton's name is spelled wicampiwastewin

I found a Good Star Woman in the book "Through
Dakota Eyes."

"Good Star Woman or Wicahpewwastewin was also known as Dorine Blacksmith.
She was born in 1854 near the Yellow Medicine Agency. Her father, Hepi Wakandisapa
or Black Lightning, was a Franco-Dakota, Her mother Archargowe, was a Dakota. Both
belonged to the Mdewakanton tribe and were willing to adopt the ways of the whites.
During the war they tried to avoid violence, and by the fall of 1862 they were living
in the camp at Fort Snelling. In May 1863they were removed to the Crow Creek Reservation,
where her father learned the blacksmith trade and adopted the name, Joseph Blaacksmith.
Four years later they joined other Sioux at the Santee Reservation in Nebraska Territory
and in 1869 moved to the Sisseton Reservation in eastern Dakota Territory. Good
Star Woman married and after rearing her children lived with two daughters near
Red Wing, MN."
