Sunka Ska White Dog and wife Checkered Cloud

[sara]

Sunka Ska White Dog (one of the 38)was wed to Checkered Cloud. It is stated in some writings that she was the daughter of Chief Wabasha/Wapahasha. I am looking for a birth date for White Dog, his parents and if White Dog and Checkered Cloud had any children together.

Thank-you in advance.

The daughter of chief Wapahasha that married White Dogg, had a first name,Sarah. I don't know about the Checkered Cloud for her Indian name though. She married Andrew Goodthunder after White Dog was hung at mankato in 1862. ironically, Andrew testified against some of the accused at their trials. White Dog had a son White Dog, who was a scout for the rmy.
______
white dog did not have the son White Dog that was a scout for the Army.

Thanks Hermin. I did have all the info on Sarah and Andrew Good THunder. THey did not have children together, but they did adopt. Do you have resources for White Dogs son White Dog? How old would he have been as a scout also? And where he is buried.

Thanks again.

[hermin1]

Sara: All I have for White Dog,Jr. is he was Devils lake Sioux #280. He was born 1847 and died 1930. My guess is he is buried in North Dakota in Benson County.
White Dog ,Sr was the brother of Chief Sacred Standing Buffalo.they also had 3 children thatdied at Crow Creek in 1863/64.
I have a card for white Dog,but don't know which of the two above, who had a daughter Tatiopawin, and a son David/Ashes/Cahota.
charles Whipple, adopted by the Goodthunders was part black,according tohenton the BiA Agent for the mdewakantons.

correction:
this white Dog was not the son of The White Dog that was hung at Mankato.

[sara]

Thanks,

White Dog Sr and Chief Standing Buffalo/Lake Traverse Chief where brothers? Or is this a different Standing Buffalo?

[hermin1]

White Dog was the brother of Sacred Standing Buffalo/or Sacred Standing Medicine Cow.he was not the brother of Standing Buffalo of lake Traverse.
_________
this White Dog was not the one that was hung at Mankato.
this is the other White Dog that was the Scout.

[sara]

ok, thanks. Kind of threw me off when you said he was "Chief".

1841: Holy Standing Cow or Ptewakannajin: father to Solomon Redfox. His blood siblings are Sacred Visible Voice, and Hunkawin aka Anna Jetty. White Dog is a half- brother. Tradition says he was married seven times. He was a guide to Reverend Riggs to the Missouri River in 1841. Riggs says he was a nephew to Thunderface. Redfox or Solomon Sunginaduta, DLS # 65, 1863 – 1942. The son of Holy Standing Cow, and Tateahnahiyayewin. Hunkawin aka Anna Jetty was the oldest child and Solomon was the youngest. – L. Garcia

1842: White Dog or Sunkaska, DLS # 280, 1842 – 1930. White Dog was a scout for the Sibley Expedition of 1863. White Dog, Desired Woman, and White Woman are siblings of Matowakan. – L. Garcia

Louie states here that Holy Standing Cow or Ptewakannajin Jr. and White Dog were half brothers. But which White Dog was he referring?

[wakanhotain]

I don't understand why the mix-up. Sunkaska was a Sisitunwan- Wahpetunwan, a member of the Spirit Lake Dakota who died in 1930. His wife was Wazina. None of his children lived to adulthood. He was not a relation to the White Dog who was hung. That White Dog must have been a Bdewakantun.
There must be many men with the name Whitedog.

Now Ptewakannajin (Holy Standing Cow) again, one was a Sisitun - Wahpetun and the other was a Yankton (photograph taken of him) who's son took the Sylven (Sp?) who was an Episcopal (Skaun)Church member. Again there are probably many with this Cow Standing name.

Ok thanks, that's what I was getting at, I didn't think we were talking about the same White Dog. I'm just ruling out all the other White Dog's.

[hermin1]

Boy,thanks you guys for straightening this White Dog puzzle out. The White Dog who was hung at mankato is the one that was married to Checkered Cloud, and they had the three children that died at Crow Creek in 1863/64. the Pre-1862 Annuity rolls for the Minnesota Siouxs should give you more information on the White Dog that was hung at Mankato(how many children and how many women)in his family. also, I think Curtis Kitto has the Trial transcripts,so you might want to see if he has the one for White Dog.
I had been told by, I amsorry I don't remember who, that White Dog(thehung one) had a son named White Dog. so i wrote it down without checking it out.I will correct my records. I apologize for the error.

[sara]

I do have the info for Sunka ska and the court proceedings. I was wondering if he had children that survived, but you answered that, thank-you.

[hermin1]

thank goodness i got something right on this thread.

“Legacy of Survival—Coming Home”
legacy.mnhs.org/featured-projects/commemorating-us-dakota-war-1862

I would like to comment that Direct Lineal Descendents of the Dakota Treaty Signers, Wakanhdimaza - His Metal Lightening, Ee-tay-wa-keen-yan - Thunderface and Wakaksan - Sneaking Around (appointed speaker for the Dakota at Fort Totten, ND, 1901) are exiled from both the State of Minnesota and tribal enrollment with the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe. Their great-great grandfathers established the Devil's Lake Sioux Reservation, yet, these certain descendents are denied recognition and tribal enrollment from which they were born.

The lost descended children of the Dakota Treaty Signers have survived. Yet, they are not acknowledged by the Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe. They have been tossed aside and treated as orphaned children in spite of the historical records.

What a pity to be denied their inherited ancestry. The “Legacy of Survival—Coming Home” events that are planned for August, 2012, does not apply to them based upon the decision of Spirit Lake Sioux Tribal Council.

1851, Treaty of Traverse de Sioux
1870, Sioux – Chippewa Peace Conference – Fort Abercrombie
1873, Amended Agreement with Certain Sioux

So, from my perspective, what is there to celebrate?

Needless to say, we will not be attending this event.

MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“LEGACY OF SURVIVAL: COMING HOME”
COMMEMORATING 150 YEARS OF DAKOTA EXILE
August 15-17, 2012
FLANDREAU, SD -- While a host of events throughout southern Minnesota this summer will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the 1862 Dakota war, only one event is being organized by those who have suffered most harshly from the war’s aftermath – the Dakota exiles.
Most Minnesotans and the public at large are unfamiliar with the Dakota Diaspora that resulted from the 1862 war, and even less familiar with the fact that a federal law still forbids those Dakota who fled or were forcibly removed from the state from returning.
“Legacy of Survival – Coming Home” is a two and a half day event August 15-17 to highlight the cultural resiliency of the 14 Dakota tribal communities who live in exile in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Montana and Canada, and call for amending the 1863 Removal Act that bans them from their Minnesota homeland.
The event begins with a Dakota Camp at the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribal community in South Dakota Wednesday evening, August 15 and all day Thursday, August 16 (See attached flyer for a Camp schedule).
“The Camp is a celebration and remembrance of Dakota Oyate survival,” said Franky Jackson, one of the lead event organizers. “We will come together to share and document our ancestors’ stories, how they struggled to keep our identity as Dakota alive, and we’ll showcase the vibrancy of our culture and people today.”
The event continues on Friday, August 17 – the date the U.S. Dakota War began --with a walk from Flandreau across the Minnesota border to the Pipestone National Monument, a place of deep cultural and spiritual significance.
A feast, ceremonies and remarks from both Minnesota and Tribal officials will reaffirm the unbroken connection between the Dakota and their ancestral lands. All Minnesotans are invited to come to the Pipestone gathering and welcome the exiled Dakotas home.
“Because we live in exile outside the state, we are often forgotten – by Minnesotans and even by our own relatives,” said Melvin Houston, spokesperson for Minnesota affairs for the Santee Sioux Nation of Nebraska. “We want to raise awareness that we are still here. We want our grandchildren to remember our legacy of survival.”
“Despite our removal, despite all that has happened in the last 150 years, we have persisted in being Dakota,” said JB Weston of the Flandreau Tribal Historic Preservation Office. “We have outlasted the efforts of the United States to sever us from our culture. We remain --and we are coming home.”
“Legacy of Survival—Coming Home” is sponsored by the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribal community, Flandreau Tribal Historic Preservation Office, the Dakota Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Coalition, the Crow Creek Tribe, the Santee Sioux Nation, the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate and the Spirit Lake Nation, with support from the Minnesota Historical Society and the State of South Dakota Tourism Board.

Sara: what 1863 Act are you referring to?

[hermin1]

sara: i apologize for the goof. See 2nd paragraph of your previous post. I should have asked which 1863 federal Act the person was referring to, which banished the sioux from minnesota?
