I am hoping to find more information about families from around Brown's Valley, MN that fled to Canada in 1862 at the time of the Minnesota Uprising. Does anyone have any ideas what records might be a good place to look?
My great, great, great Grandmother Wokonze (Wakanhiyayemn?) was the wife of a man called Dotepaha, which I believe means 'Red Bonnet'. He was killed in the conflict and she fled to Canada, possibly with a group led by Chief Standing Buffalo. She remarried into the Tawiyaka family and settled on the Standing Buffalo Reservation in Qu'Appelle, Saskatchewan.
For years, my family has been interested in locating records prior to their emigration in 1862, but didn't think there was much in existence. Any help is much appreciated!

there are the pre 1862 Uprising, minnesota annuity rolls, but all they tell you is the names of the heads ofthe families, no. of men, no. of children, no. of women, and total in family. the Minn. Hist. soc. in St. paul has theAlan woolworth papers that include a number of family Trees. then there are theHlf Blood or Mixed blood listings in the Minn. Genealogical Journal. i think they are on our website, but don't know off hand which section of threds they are in.since you know where the people fled to, that iswhere you should start looking first.

also check out the Prisoner lists for mankato and Davenport that are in our Website. Sara may be able to help you with these. then there are several books that you might want to read, such as through Dakota eyes, ,Dakota sioux Internment at Fort snelling,1862-1864, and msark diedrick has writtenseveral books on as wekk.
