Does anyone have any info on Chief (Mahpiyamaza) Iron Cloud, who signed the 1836 Treaty with the Sioux (Upper Mdewakanton)? I find little written about him. Does anyone know who his children were? Thank you

vicky: I too found very little on chief Iron Cloud. I did find that healso signed a Treaty in 1851. the only other info I found was that he was the the Head man and second chief to Wakute of the Redwing Band. their relations were strained since the death of Walking buffalo( Redwing) in 1829. Iron Cloud had asked Taliafarro to proclaim him chief of the Redwing band , but Taliafarro would only recogniz e Wakute. the band split up, and Wakute with his followers moved to where Wabasha's village was. the factions did reunite @ 1842, but the relations between Wakute and Iron cloud were still strained.
does anyone know what happened to Chief Iron Cloud during/and after the 1862 Uprising?
