[RJNorton]

Many thanks to Blaine Houmes for sending these photos and accompanying information:

Little Crow: Sioux Chief and Co-Leader with Chief Red Iron. Initially fled and escaped trial, returning in 1863 to steal horses and was shot dead by a settler.

Old Bets: Sioux squaw who took care of Minnesota captives. Probably the most photographed native involved in the Sioux uprising.

Other Day (ANPETU-TOKECA): He rescued 62 settlers from massacre.

Standing Buffalo (TA-TANKA-NAZIN): Hereditary Chief of the Sioux. He did not take part of the Sioux Uprising and tried to convince Little Crow not to fight. He also contacted Gen. Henry Sibley his band desired peace.

Cut Nose: Sioux tribe, murdered 18 women and children and 5 men. Executed; his body was scavenged by Dr William Mayo for anatomical dissection. He was father to the Mayo Brothers (as in the Mayo Clinic).
