Hello, I am looking for information on the Frazier family of Santee, Nebraska. My grandmother was Ethel Frazier (DOB 10/15/1907), her father was Albert Frazier (m. Elizabeth Howe), and Albert's father was Artemus Ehnamani (m. Eliza Ehnamani).
Our family would like information on what band the Fraziers were from in Santee, if we are Wahpeton, Mdewakanton, Sisseton, or Wahpekute.
We would also like to know if there are any Dakota names on record for my grandmother or her siblings. The last record for a name in Dakota I have been able to find was for my grandmother's sister, Emma Frazier, whose Dakota name was Dowanhiyawin (Goes Along Singing). My grandmother's twin sister, Edna Frazier, married name Peniska, compiled A Few Great Stories of the Santee People along with Paul Robertson, published 1979.
I have been assisted already by many gracious people in helping with our Santee family history! Thank you!

joe jack Frazier's indian name was Itemaza(iron face.. His spouse margaret or maggie was Comes Home In Triumph. Artemus's surname was his Indian name ehnamani, and his wife's Indian name was winyanhiyayewin. elizabeth Howe was a Non-Indian. albert Frazier's indian name was Tacytatanka.
As for Edna and Ethel, I am sorry but the latest Indian census for them is 1934 which lists both girls living together in Knox,NE with Edna as the head. Neither was alloted and both were still single. Edna Peniska died 28 Dec. 1991 in Knox,Ne

I was unable to find any Dakota sioux name for either Edna or Ethel. there is aFrzier Family Treeposted at Mike Denney's web site: Mdewakanton Refwerence site, in case you want to download and print it out. I believe itis eitherin the Family Trees, or to Ask For Help On A person sections.
