:)I am looking to find the names of the Lakota Chief Rain in the Face sons. I have heard that there were either four or five. I am related by marriage and my Lakota family would appreciate any help that anyone could give us. Many thanks.

I know that he had daughters.
Rain-in-the-face had five brothers
1. Iron Horn
2. Bear Face
3. Little Bear
4. Shaved Head
5. Red Thunder
His Father was Bear Face I
Bear Face's brother was Running Antelope father

Thanks for the information,
Yes I am sure about his sons. My late father-in-law was named after one of them, Rescue Rider in Battle. This name was given to one of the sons from either an incident at the Rosebud or Little Bighorn where they saved another brothers life.
Thanks.

No
there are Two Red Thunders
Red Thunder the Hunkpapa
and Red Tunder Sisseton/wahpeton the father of Charger
Rain-In-The-Face was never a chief but his brother Iron Horn and Bear face were chiefs
