Good morning, LaDonna. Happy Holidays.

At the time of his transfer to the Standing Rock Agency in 1881, Four Horns family looked like this:

He-to-pa Four Horns age 58, chief
Wa-kin-yan-to-win Blue Thunder Woman, wife, age 60
He-to-pa Four Horns Jr., son, age 26
Pte-san-du-ta-win, Red White Buffalo Cow, dau., 20

For the year 1880-81, Four Horns' family reported that they had killed 200 buffalo and 12 deer, and they had 1 dog.

I am not certain why the ennumerator for the census gave the daughter's name in Dakota dialect.

He and his family went with Sitting Bull to Fort Randall as prisoners of war. Four Horn's wife died at Fort Randall on Dec. 12, 1881.

He returned to Standing Rock in April 1883 with the Sitting Bull band. Several months later, Agent McLaughlin split up Sitting Bull's band into several smaller bands, including one under the leadership of Four Horns. By 1885, his band included 14 families. In the 1885 Standing Rock census, his family looked like:

He Topa (Chief) Four Horns widower, age 71
Pte san Luta Red Gray Cow, dau., 24
Tamaheca Lean, dau., age 45

Walter Campbell alias Stanley Vestal asked Joseph White Bull in one of his interviews if Four Horns had ever let someone take a photograph of him. He simply answered:
"I don´t know."

...sigh.


P.S. WB said the same about Chief Makes Room.

[ladonna]

I know of No photo of Four Horns,
He was Sitting Bull's uncle and a great
leader in his own right. he was at Little
Big Horn

[ladonna]

Ephriam do you have other names of his wives? I know he had a Arikara wife like his brother.
I am also researching White Bull who has been reported to have 18 wives. One of his wives was a Ute indian.

[ladonna]

I know that White Bull had 18 wives and one was a Ute.
Black Moon married Sitting Bull's aunt
I am looking for her name.

LaDonna, Red Woman's second son was kicked in the head by a horse at the battle of the Little Bighorn and died there according to Ernie LaPointe. It might not have been reported to the census until the following year...or the family members that reported this could have just plain changed the date to cover up the fact that they were at the battle. Also according to Ernie, Seen By Her Nation died in 1897. Four Robes was born in 1848 and died in 1929. Hope this helps.

Miss Earth! Did I tell you my wife is a Four Horns from Rosebud? Her grandma is Alice Four Horns, and her maiden name is Stands By Him. Alice's moms was Lillian Beads, Left Hand Bull, Stands. It got translated all over the place and I'm not even sure I got it right. I will see you over to our new place after your nephew figures it out. I will have my wife sign up and she can talk to you directly.

[ladonna]

Great! I have been doing the Four Horn research along with the other family members for the tribe. Four Horn was Sitting bull's Uncle

[pootatuck]

I will see you over to the new place and sign her up. It's not even two days old yet and it won't let me in. Sigh

[ladonna]

OW had to let me in I could not get in
