aches, mules, or cattle
belonging to the people of the United States, or to persons
friendly therewith.
"3. They will never capture or carry off from the settlements white
women or children.
"4. They will never kill or scalp white men, nor attempt to do them
harm. The government agrees to furnish to the Indians a physician,
teachers, carpenter, miller, engineer, farmer, and blacksmiths, and
ten of the best farmers shall receive five hundred dollars a year
who will grow the best crops."
The names of the chiefs who signed the treaty are as follows:
_Brule Sioux._
Ma-za-pon-kaska, his x mark, Iron Shell.
Wah-pat-thah, Red Leaf.
Hah-tah-pah, Black Horn.
Zin-tak-gah-lat-skah, Spotted Tail.
Zin-tah-skah, White Tail.
Me-wah-tak-ne-ho-skah, Tall Mandas.
He-cha-chat-kah, Bad Left Hand.
No-mah-no-pah, Two and Two.
Spotted Tail, who was at Fort D. A. Russell in 1868, just after the
treaty, wore a coon-skin cap,--hence called Spotted Tail. Each chief
gets his peculiar name from some event in his life, or some peculiarity
of person, as for instance,--
Tah-shun-ka-co-qui-pah, Man-afraid-of-his-horses. His horse stampeded
one day, when his tribe was fighting some other one, and ran into the
ranks of the enemy. When his owner got back again, he left his horse
behind and _went in_ (as we say), on foot, to fight again. It is not a
term of reproach, as he was not a coward, but did not want to lose his
horse,--hence called "Man-afraid-of-his-horses."
