looking for the names of Lame Deer1's wives & children & dates:
"My great-grandfather Lame Deer [Tahca Ushte (?-1877)] was a chief of the Mni Owoju--the Planters by the Water--one of the severn western tribes of the Sioux nation. He had three wives.
His first wife had three sons;
Did Not Butcher,
Flying By and my own grandfather,
Cante Witko, which means Crazy Heart [?-1882].
The second wife had
one daughter.
The third wife had no children. "

not as easy as LameDeer2 says.
"One of the best sources on the family is the statement of Flying By, one of Lame Deer's sons, to Walter Camp: Camp papers at Lilly Library, University of Indiana, Indianapolis, Kenneth Hammer transcript pp 354-55. He said that "Lame Deer had 7 girls and 3 boys. Boys Flying By and Fool Heart - Chante Witko [and] Shoots Bear Running - Mato kute Inyaike. Two brothers [last named] now dead. [Flying By] Has two sisters now living, one living on Standing Rock, Mrs. White Horse and one at Cherry Creek, wife of First Eagle."

yes, 3 known men by the name/surname Lame Deer:
Lame Deer1 / Tȟáȟča Hušté (?-1877) Miniconju Lakota, Wakpokinyan band leader (vice chief) of those opposed to the 1868 treaty, present at the battle of the Little Bighorn/Greasy Grass
John Fire Lame Deer2 (1903-1976) grandson of Lame Deer, subject of Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions: the life of a Sioux medicine man by Richard Erdoes 1972
Archie Fire Lame Deer3 (1935-2001) son of John Fire Lame Deer, subject of Gift of Power: the life and teachings of a Lakota medicine man by Richard Erdoes 1992
am looking specifically for the names of Lame Deer1's wives & daughters.
- anybody know of a source for the 1877 Spotted Tail census online?

Anyone have contact information on Archie Fire Lame Deer's son, also named John? I have some personal items of his grandfather that am trying to return.
