Re: Ideas for another category title? Reply #1 on Sept 12, 2006, 9:12am maybe one that shows all the original seven bands and then sub-bands then sub-sub-bands and where they are now, maybe the people on the board could put what they know of their bands or tiospaye mona
The following summary of Dakota Bands comes from "Aborigines of Minnesota," after reading the suggesting of 'mona' about "bands category," I thought it would be a good start to understand the changes and chaos these Bands had gone though. I hope it helps in your research.

... The English were struck with his noble bearing and his magnanimity, and readily granted all he asked, giving him medals for their seven village chiefs, of which one was hung about Wabasha’s neck. The hands that received these medals were probably parts of the M’dewakanton, and may be enumerated, with some uncertainty, as follows:
Wabasha’s band, probably of the original Mantanton, located not far above the mouth of the Minnesota, on the north side, later became known in part as Pinnesha’s hand, and when at Winona as Kiuksa, or Keoxa.
Shakpay’s, or Six’s, on the south side of the Minnesota, not far east from Shakopee.
Wakinyantanka’s, father of the elder Little Crow, on tbie Mississippi, east side, below St. Paul.
Wamdetankas band, or Big Eagle’s, the Black Dog village, above Mendota, on the south side of the Minnesota, Tetankatane of Keating.
Tahtahgamane’s, or Red Wing’s. band, near the mouth of the Cannon river, whose chief was later Wacoota.
Taoapa, opposite Sbakopee, on the west side of the Minnesota.
Wakantapes, or Weakaote, above Shakopee, on the east side of the Minnesota. This village was later known as Batture aux Fievres.
Of these the last two named are the most doubtful. They are known chiefly by the reports of Keating and Bettrami, in 1823, and at the time of Wahasha I may have resided elsewhere. In 1700, according to Le Sueur, Wahkantape was a chief of the Mantanton, and it is a easonable presumption that he (or Tioscaté) was the divorced chief who was the father of the first Wahasha. ...

...Lieut. Pike held a council with some of the chiefs at the mouth of time Minnesota, and received from them a cession of land for military purposes nine miles square at the mouth of the St. Croix, and of another tract below the mouth of the Minnesota river and extending up the Mississippi nine miles on each side so as to include the fails of St. Anthony. Time chiefs present at this treaty, as given by Pike, were: ..(1) Le Petit Corheau, sigmmeci the grant.. ..(2) Le Fiis de Pinchmow, do. ..(3) Le Grand Partisamm. ..(4) Le Original Levé \_ "War chief, gave him my fathers ..(5) Le Demi Dottzen / tomahawk, etc., etc." ..(6) Le Beccasse. ..(7) Le Bceuf qui marche.
Of these, numbered as above, No. 1, according to Riggs, was Chatanwakoowamani, Who-walks-pursuing-a-hawk.
No. 2 was a son of Pineiromm, a French trader whose gigantic and aimost incredible exploits are recounted by W. J. Snelling in his "Tales of the Northwest," and who, on the retirement of Wabashia with the most of his warrior’s to Iowa, was chosen chief of the renmainder. His son, who sinned the treaty, is probably the same as mentioimed by Beltrami as Paniscihowa, amid by Long in 1823 and named Takopepeshene. According to Cones he is also the same as elsewhere called Wyaganage by Pike (Way Ago Enagee, by Neill).
No. 3 is known only here. Foster supposes him to hdve been a principal soldier (Minn. Hist.. Soc. Vol. I, p. 380).
No. 4, Standing Moose, is also called Tamaha (or Taimanmie by Pike), was honored by Gen. Win. Clark by a certificate (in 1814) of his fidelity to the American cause. He was a subordinate chief of Wabasha. When the rest of Little Crow’s band in 1812 joined the British, with Renviiie anti Dickson, Tamaha sided with time Anmerieans, remaining faithful to his agreement with Pike. He wore a stove-pipe hat, and boasted that he was the only "American Sioux," as he had been in the American service under Gen. William Clark. He died
in 1860, nearly 100 years of age.
No. 5 was the father of the Shakpav of 1854. Keating speaks of "Shakpa" as chief of the village of Taoapa.
No. 6. Le Becasse was Bras Casse or Bracasse, Broken-arm. Foster thinks his Sioux name was Wahkantahrpa.v, which was also the name of a chief who in 1700 visited Le Sueur at Fort L’Huillier. "As late as 1825 lie was still hiving at his small village of Wahpaykootans on a lake near the Minnesota some five om’ six miles below Prairie ha Fleche, now Le Sueur."
No. 7. Walking Buffalo, was Tahtawkahmahnee, a sub-chief of old Wabasha, also called Red Wing. From him the village at Cannon river was named. He was the father of Wahkootay, who in 1854 was chief at Red Wing,’ and had attended tire elder Wabashma in his last illness. ...

...Peace was established between time Dakota and the Sauteurs by Pike, and in a conference held at Prairie du Chien on his descent to St. Louis in April, 1806, with various Sioux chiefs, Wabasha first spoke in behalf of those present, acquiescing in the peace established, but in general they said they doubted the good faith of time Ojibwa, as they had had a long experience with them.
1815. The treaty of "peace anti friendship" of July 19, 1815, between the "Sioux of the lakes," i.e., the Sioux who originally were denominated the "eastern Sioux," and who became gradually to be known, as they were mainly, the M’dewakanton (including the Mantanton) and the United States, was signed by: ..Tatangamanee, Walking Buffalo (Red Wing). ..Haisanwee, Horn. ..Aampapa, Speaker. ..Naceesagata, Hard Stone. ..Haibohoa, Branching Horn. An identical treaty, of the same date, with the same United States signers, but different
witnesses, was signed by chiefs of the "Sioux of the St. Peters river," as follows: ..Enignianee, That flies as he walks. ..Wasouikpoha, Falling hail. ..Champisaba, Black war club. ..Mahpiasaba, Black cloud. ..Tataimaza, Iron wind. ..Nonmkanandee, Who puts his foot in it.
Similar treaties of Peace and Friendship were made with the other Dakota tribes. A similar
treaty dated June 1, 1816, between eight bands of Sioux, "composing the three tribes
called Sioux of the Leaf, Sioux of the Broach Leaf, and Sioux who shoot in the Pine Tops,"
at St. Louis, was signed by 41 Dakota, among whinieh names are: ..Taiamanee, Marching wind (probably Wabasha). ..Peneshon. ..Eanggamanee, Runner. ..Tatunrgascartop, Playing buffalo. ..Tatanrggan’tarnee, "Walking buffalo, or Red Wing." ..Warseconta,’ Who shoots in time pine tops. ..Otangganinanee, With a strong voice. ..Warpearmus.ee, Iron Cloud. ..Etoagungamanee, White Face. ..Warcheshnsapa, The Negro. ..Hasanee, Buffalo with one horn. ..Aearpa, Speaker. ..Muckpasarp, Black Cloud.
An examination of these names shows how the Indian nanmes were variously spelled and corrupted. Some of them can hardly be recognized. ...

Again in Novemmrber, 1836, Lawrence Tahhiaferro, by a "convention" held at St. Peter (Mendota), gave these tribes other goods to the amount of five hundred and fifty dollars on their also ratifying the said treaty. ...

... Sioux Half-breed Tract It was by the treaty of 1830 that the Sioux half-breed reservation, on lake Pepin, along the west side of the Mississippi, was set off. Its boundary began at a place called the Barn (Sorin bluff, at Red Wing) below and near the village of the Red Wing chief, and running back fifteen miles; thence in a parallel line with lake Pepin and the Mississippi about thirty-two miles, to a point opposite Beef (or Boeuf, now the Chippewa) river; thence fifteen miles. to the Grand Encampment, near the mouth of the Chippewa river. Such a tract, with thmose definitions, could not be laid off with exactness, since thirty-two miles would carry the southeastern corner of the reservation f or beyond Grand Encampment, which was near Wabasha. Time southwestern line of the reservation could have been only about twenty-six miles.
1832. In the "Black Hawk war" the Mdewakanton were allied with the United States forces against the Sacs and Foxes, under Wabasha, but their services were exerted mostly in exterminating certain remnants of the Sacs after disastrous battles with the troops. The Sacs had inspired a feeling of dread in the hearts of the Sioux by reason of numerous raids which they had made into Minnesota, and Wabasha’s braves showed only cowardice so long as they were on the east of the Mississippi in Wisconsin, and all except six deserted the army and returned to their homes on the west bank of the Mississippi. After the defeat of the Sacs and Foxes at the mouth of the Bad Ax river, and when the fleeing fugitives had crossed the Mississippi into Iowa, reduced to a frightened remnant mostly of women and children, Wabasha fell upon themmm in great glee with a force of fresh warriors and slaughtered them at will. For this merciless and unwarranted destruction, Wabasha was not alone to be censured, for, as Black Hawk affirmed, Wabashma with his band of Sioux had been sent in pursuit by Gen. Atkinson.
A short time before the breaking out of time Black Hawk war, Wabasha’s band were alarmed by inroads by the Sauk, of Iowa, who anode an attack on a Dakota camp on Money creek, in Houston county. The Dakota valiantly repulsed them and rescued the daughter of the war-chief Wahkondeotah. The Dakota of Wabasha’s band moved their principal encampment across the Mississippi, near Trempeleau, and it remained there until after the treaty of 1837, though their dances and spring gatherings were still held at Keoxa, i. e., Winona.
1834. Pond’s sketch of the Dakota in 1834 affords the following condensed statement:
M’DEWAKANTON. Villages.________________Location.________________________Chiefs or head men.
Kiuksa___________________Winona ("below lake Pepin")______Wapasha (Wabasha II). Remnicha_________________Red Wing_________________________Wakuta (Shooter).

... These two treaties transferred to the United States about 30,000,000 acres of some of the best land on the face of the earth, from the ownership of about 8,000 Indians, the greater portion of which lay within the limits of the present state of Minnesota.
The treaties both made reservations for the natives, extending from lake Traverse southeastwardly to near New Ulm, in belts lying on the Minnesota river and having a width, on each side, of ten miles.
The Indian signers were, of the M’dewakanton and Wapakute:
Taoyateduta, His scarlet people, or Little Crow, and eleven "headmen," among these being:
Tatchanh’pee sapa (His black tomahawk); Makanahotoanmanee (Whose tread makes the earth tremble); Wakeenyanwashtay (Good Thunder).
Wapasha (The Standard, or Red leaf) and five head men, among them being Wakanhendeeota (Many Lightnings); Makakaeeday (Who sets the earth on fire).
Wakootay (Shooter) and nine head men, among the latter being, Mahpeeyamaza (Metal Cloud); Tamazahowashtay (Good Iron Voice).
Mahpeemeetchashtay (Cloud man or Man of the sky), with nine head men, among the latter being, Ampayshota (Smoky Day); Hahakamaza (Metal Elk); Tatayh’mooheyaya (Whistling Wind).
Mazahota (Gray Iron), with five head men, and among the latter are Wasoomeetchchshtashnee (Bad Hail); Oanketayheedan (Little water God).
Tatchankoowashtay (Good Road). with three head men, among these being, Tatayowoteenmanee (Roaring Wind that walks); Ovavtchanmanee (Track maker).
Shak’pay (Six), with seven head men, among these being Anogheemazheen (That stands on both sides); Hooyapa (Eagle Head); Tatavmeena (Round Wind); Mazawamenooha (Gourd shell metal medicine rattle, perhaps corrupted later to Medicine bottle).
Hayeetcha h’moomanee (Horn whistling walking), with seven head men, among these being, Tawotawaydoota (His scarlet Armrtor); Apayhota (Gray mane or crest); Mahpeeyasheetcha (Bad Cloud). ...

... 1858. Another treaty, dated June 19, 1858, introduced a new element of discord by making a distinction between the lands lying south of the Minnesota and those lying north, providing that the former shall be allotted in severalty to the heads of families, eighty acres to each, and that the latter shall be subject to investigation, i. e.,to ascertain whether the Indians had any right to claim and occupy it. This distinction must have had some ulterior purpose, for the two reservations had been ordered alike by the treaties of 1851, and bad bad identically the same history. The treaty of 1858, like that of 1851, was made in duplicate, in identical terms, first with the M’dewakanton and Wahpakute and then with the Sisseton and Wahpaton.*
This treaty was signed by eighteen Dakota chiefs and braves, of the Md ewakanton and Wahpekute, viz.: ..Wabashaw. ..Chetanakooumonee (Little Crow). ..Wasuhiyahidan. ..Shakopee (Six). ..Wannindeetonkee (Large War Eagle). ..Muzzaojanjan (Iron Light). ..Maka.w’to (Blue Earth). ..Hushawshaw (Red Legs). ..Hinhanduta (Scarlet Owl). ..Harakamuzza (Iron Elk). ..Wukanojanjan (Medicine Light.). ..Tachunrpeemuzza (His iron war club). ..Wakinyantowa (Owns the Tundet) ..Chunpiyouha (Has a war club). ..Onkeeterhidan (Little Whale). ..Wamouisa (The Thief). ..Papa (Sharp). ..Tataibomdu (Scattering Wind). lt was signed by the following representing the Sisseton and Wahpaton: ..Muzzahsha (Red Iron). ..Wamdupidutah (War Eagle’s Scarlet Tail). ..Ojupi (Planter). ..Hahutanai (The stumpy horn). ..Mazzomanee (Walking Iron). ..Mazzakootemanee (Shoots Iron as he walks). ..Upiya.hideyaw (Chief of Lac qui Pane). ..Umpedutokechaw (Ot Tier Day). ..Tachandupahotanka (His Pipe with Strong Voice). ...

... As this historical sketch has, in a measure, been strung on the name Wabasha, it is interesting to know that to a treaty made April 29, 1868, at Fort Laramie, by generals William T. Sherman, William S. Harney, Alfred II. Terry, C. C. Auger and John B. Sanborn and others, the following signatures of chiefs and head men of the Santee band are appended, along with others of the BruTe, the Ogahlalah, the Minneconjou, the Yanctormais, the Uncpapa, Blackfeet, Cutheads, Two Kettles and the Sans Arch, viz.: ..Wapahshaw, Red Ensign. ..Wahkootav, Shooter. ..Hooshasha, Red Legs. ..Owanchaduta, Scarlet all over. ..Waumacetanka, Big Eagle. ..Chotankaenape, Flute Player. ..Tashunkemoza, His Iron Dog.
Also that to an unratified agreement made at the Santee Agency, October 17, 1882, the names of "Napoleon Wabasha" and Thomas Wakute are appended, along with eighteen others that are probably of Indians who have so far complied with the ways of English civilization as to change their names to William Dick, John White, Henry Jones, etc. ...
