not sure how closely you have been following Wolfchild closely but the procedures the SOI wants to follow in order to compile a list of lineal descendents are the same procedures that were used to pay the judgment in the Mississippi Sioux Judgment
and may re-open the list for the Sisseton Wahpeton LDs under 25 CFR part 61 it was re-opened briefly when the 3 tribes claimed the interest of the Sisseton Wahpeton LDs that lead to the 1998 Distribution
the principal of that trust is still on account the three tribes only were awarded the accrued interest claiming the amount the Sisseton Wahpeton individual LDs would have gotten 15X more than all 3 of the tribes put together Devils Lake Sioux Tribe of North Dakota aka Spirit Lake Sioux Tribe, Sisseton Wahpeton Tribe of South Dakota, and the Assisiniboine and Sioux Tribe of Fort Peck Montana
the CFR recently cited this authority in part 61... 25 USC § 1300d–3(b) Roll of lineal descendants; applications Subject to the Mississippi Sioux Tribes Judgment Fund Distribution Act of 1998 [25 U.S.C. 1300d–21 et seq.], the Secretary of the Interior shall prepare a roll of the lineal descendants of the Sisseton and Wahpeton Mississippi Sioux Tribe who were born on or prior to and are living on October 25, 1972, whose names or the name of a lineal ancestor appears on any available records and rolls acceptable to the Secretary, and who are not members of any of the organized groups listed in subsection (a) of this section. Applications for enrollment must be filed with the Area Director, Bureau of Indian Affairs, Aberdeen, South Dakota. The Secretary’s determination on all applications for enrollment shall be final.

yeah..i was told the same thing the '98 Distribution was only open for 2 years until 2001 then permanently closed but its closed for the 3 tribes open for those individuals not enrolled in those 3 tribes and another amendment to that judgment its open for the individual Sisseton Wahpeton LDs still and the attorney general was given the authority to settle those disputes
i'll find the Congressional legislation and show you what the 3 tribes did to claim the interest of the Sisseton Wahpeton LDs
brb..

did she get a reply from the area director himself or a form letter form a BIA "tribal specialist" when i applied i received a form letter from a tribal specialist i only requested an application..thats all
to initiate the process you would need to request an application a copy of your request will need the OMB control number attached to this and the copy is sent back to for your records along with the application...fill it out with the OMB control number with all your documents going back to an aboriginal ancestor (in wolfchild, the court goes back to a 1851 Mdewakanton Wahpetkute treaty, and there is a similar 1851 Sisseton Wahpeton treaty) you might have to descend from a person from that treaty
a tribal specialist cant assign a OMB number a tribal specialist doesnt have the authority to assign a Office of Management and Budget control number the OMB is a dept within the Executive Branch, he sits across from the SOI

2 ) The list of Sisseton and Wahpeton Sioux prisoners convicted for participating in the outbreak referred to as the “1862 Minnesota Outbreak”; This reminds me....I thought I went looking for this years ago, must never have come across it. Was there an actual list of just Sisseton Wahpeton convicted prisoners? Or are they referring to the 400 Dakota men prisoners that were held at Mankato and then moved to the prison in Dav enport Iowa? Are these Sisseton Wahpeton convicted prisoners the ones that were at Ft Snellling thorugh the winter of 62/63? Did the Sisseton and Wahpeton convicted men go to Crow Creek in the Spring of 1863? I know Red Irons band was at Crow Creek and then released in 1866 and sent to Sisseton. We have those records But is there a separate list of Sisseton Wahpeton convicted prisoners like the NARA post stated? ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid=2a8570c6162f67fce17cc03130f4df51&rgn=div8&view=text&node=25:1.0.1.6.30.0.57.4&idno=25

Morning Highashell,
So do you think they just meant the ones that were tried and pardoned in Oct 62, which is the list of 400 that allot of us have?
Most of those pardoned men that were "Sisseton Wahpeton after 1867 became Scouts for Sibley and where under the head Scout Gabriel Renville?
So the scouts are already listed in the Mississippi claim so are they being redundant in then saying anyone whos ancestor was one of the "Sisseton Wahpeton prisoners? Unless that is to include a few that might not have been pardoned, the ones that were sent to Davenports Camp McClellan.
I do have a few of those names. Which included the Freniers. The Freniers had been around Lake Traverse since late 1700's. So I think they would definitely fall under the Sisseton Wahpeton.
ok now im just thinking out loud. lol. im a little sleep deprived this morning, lol. Thanks for the reply Highashell. Havent seen you in a minute! lol
