Remembering Crow Dog, Brule’ Lakota (1833-1912)
Name: Kȟaŋǧí Šúŋka
Birthdate/Place: ca. 1833 - near Horse Stealing Creek, Montana Territory
Death date/Place: 1912 - Rosebud Sioux Reservation, South Dakota
Best known for: a Brulé Lakota subchief and the nephew of former principal chief Conquering Bear. Crow Dog was one of the leaders who helped popularize the Ghost Dance. On August 5, 1881, after a long simmering feud, Crow Dog shot and killed principal chief, Chief Spotted Tail, on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. A grand jury was convened and he was tried and convicted in Dakota Territorial court in Deadwood, South Dakota, and sentenced to death which was to be carried out on January 14, 1884. He was imprisoned in Deadwood pending the outcome of his appeals and later freed on order of the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that the territorial government had no jurisdiction over the crime. Crow Dog spent the last years of his life in relative peace on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota.
