I found this sketch in Old Traverse des Sioux. 1929. reprinted 1993 Nicollet County Hist. Soc. Sad to say, but the actual town no longer exists. the only thing marking the spot where the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux 1851 was signed is a big boulder with a plaque. the old French Cemetery , no longer exists either. Grave robbers vandalized the graves for valuables.

I have thought for years that there was a tie in between the Provencalles and Devils lake and Sunknape Provincial. Sunknape was the second husband I know of Come Stand and the father of Yellow Cloud. I have found the names Provonsal and Provincial from Devil Lake on old censuses. I fear sometimes I try to force things. That is the Cajun in me.

I seem to be wrong in my thinking because dates don't seem to add up. I have Provincail as Sunknape Provincial [ born ] 1839 marrying Comes Stands [ born 1839] in 1859. this is from LDS. They also show Them having a son Brave- Ohitika in 1867. Come Stand had six children. Two b fore marriyng Provincail and four with him. On the Rosebud censuses theyshow 1887 Provencial husband 46 Comes out wife 43 White Cloud son 17 Iron hip [name hare to decipher- best guess son 5 Yellow Cloud 29 sister Iron Horn 32 brother Strange A? 24
1891 Come Stand not found #2591 Provencial husband 61 Standing Bull wife 51 Little Elk son 26
That is the last I have on Provincial-Provencial Come Stand is listed on the 1985 to 1903 by her self.
