The names you listed above appear to have all come from a photograph by John Anderson taken at the Rosebud Reservation in 1894. While Anderson labeled it as "Chiefs of the Brule Sioux", most of them were not headmen; a few were not even Brule. See Henry W. Hamilton and Jean Tyree Hamilton, The Sioux of the Rosebud: A History in Pictures (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1971) p. 259.

For example: Stands and Looks Back or Hakikta Najin (1851-1914) was actually an Oglala through he lived all of his later life among the Brule at Rosebud. He was present at the Little Bighorn in 1876. His sister married Charles P. Jordan, the clerk at the Red Cloud Agency in 1877 at the time of Crazy Horse's surrender; Jordan was later a trader on the Rosebud Reservation.

Stands and Looks Back married Mary Spotted Horse about 1890 and had a large family. He was photographed several times by Anderson. His granddaughter, Vera Farmer, served as vice-chair of the Rosebud Sioux council.

For some additional biographies, see Claes H. Jacobson, Rosebud Sioux: A Lakota People in Transition (Stockholm, Sweden: C-H Jacobson Produktion AB, 2004).

Thank u kindly for the response. I was trying to identify the whereabouts of their resting places at Rosebud and did find some but not many. The pictographs that I saw were taken from a Calender which was issued by St Francis Mission, Rosebud. I know that u r busy but when u get a chance can you identify for me which are not Brule and from which band they are from. Also which ones were not actually chiefs, finally which ones were present at LBH.

many thanks in anticipation of ur assistance.

Eamonn,
I am not sure if we are refering to the same person, but there was a chief Black Bull, Brulé Lakota, who fled to Canada, but remained there after other bands returned to the United States. He and his people lived near Moose Jaw and they eventually received a reserve.
