Verifiable truth about my grandfather from a primary source: a priest who knew everyone because he spoke several dialects of our language & who was wounded at Wounded Knee. This is in his journal. ". . . Spotted Elk, called "Big Foot" by the whites, led a large Minneconjous . . ." #nativeamerican

Indian ration tickets 1879-1885 Part of the treaty agreements were to provide food and clothing. Stations were designated and tickets issued at each agency.. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NativeAmerican #history #Reference 1890 historical report share.counter.social/s/eb938a

Interesting captures of wildlife. Photography is something I also like and especially of natural environments.

This map is for Descendants of Survivors of Wounded Knee. We are locating families and creating maps of things in the lives of our ancestors. The pipe is now carried by Arvol Looking Horse.

I have tried to check in each day but the past week was exceptionally busy as I prepared, with others, for a meeting yesterday of Wounded Knee descendants of Survivors. It was a good meeting that @museek.bsky.social and I both attended. We spoke about a proper memorial & what to do with artifacts.

A sketch of my grandfather Lone Horn and two other prominent chiefs, drawn by Karl Wimar, a German American who sketched and painted Natives before the civil war. He was known as the Chronicler of the Missouri. #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeAmericanhistorymonth #nativeamerican #history

There are many Artifacts out there said to have belonged to my grandfathers. This is one, example. We were not Blackfoot. My grandpa was Minneconjou Lakota. I don't believe I have ever seen a photo of him in such a headdress. Only wearing single feathers. americanindian.si.edu/collections-...

With it being Native American Heritage Month, I encourage anyone in the Americas to do some reading up on the nations of their region! Broaden your world and remember that these people are still here, not just in a history book.

Senate Reports about farming and conditions for Natives in 1888. Interesting. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth #NativeAmericanHistoryMonth #history #NativeBlueSky #NativeAmerican

Many don't know that Native people had to have passes to travel anywhere off of reservations. #nativeamericanheritagemonth #history #nativeamerican

Can you imagine how difficult it was to be a Native American leader in the 1800's. Their faces say everything. 1875. My grandpas Lone Horn & Spotted Elk with Long Mandan, behind them. #nativebluesky #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamerican #history

They knew. It appears Spotted Elk, his son and the other Chiefs and headmen knew. The Whites knew and they never stood a chance because they all wanted the territory. rememberwoundedknee.wordpress.com/2011/08/08/t... #nativeamericanheritagemonth #nativeamerican #history #treaties

Spotted Elk Oglala Lakota, 1899 Photo by Frank Rinehart Son of Chief Spotted Elk (Bigfoot) of Wounded Knee. Richard (Dick) Spotted Elk was my great grandpa. His wife Pretty Cow had just had my grandpa Jasper (who was less than a month old) when the massacre happened.

I remain deeply concerned as we haven't received inventory lists yet. Seeing what happened to my grandfather's lock of hair (see Hakela trailer) I worry about the remaining artifacts belonging to our ancestors. I spoke with Justin (Fifth Member) yesterday about this. truthout.org/articles/tri...

Only descendants of survivors are buried at Wounded Knee cemetery. If you visit, my brother Richard & father Jasper are the first 2 graves as you enter the East gate next to Lost Bird. Here's an article and some photos about me. rememberwoundedknee.wordpress.com/2008/10/29/h...
