Can anyone tell me anything about The Stone Mountain People? We have a relative who was Charles Stone, son of Martha Stone(Hapstin). In the Iape records, his death notice in 1872, lists that he died in the Sisseton/Veblen SD, Coteau area and notes that he was of Stone Mountain Peoples. Thanks, Sunshine

Charley's name was- Charley Stone Wakinyanoyate. Wakinyan means thunder Oyate means people. His full name could be translated- Charley Stone Thunder People
The words are his Indian name as opposed to a location, tribe or clan. :-)

Mountain is pahatanka. I'm pretty sure the name doesn't contain the word "mountain".
