The
Indian chiefs were then brought is and their names announced,
as follows: Bear's Head, head chief of
the Uncapapas; Sitting
Bull, The Spotted
Eagle, The Flying Bird,
The Whirlwind Bear, The Medicine-turns-around,
The Iron, Dog, The-man-that-scatters-the-Bear,
Little Knife, The Crow,
and Yellow Dog. —

I
was reminded of the prominence of Bear's Head in that
period; the document actually calls him the head chief
of the Hunkpapa. Perhaps he was one of the Deciders (Wakicunze)
appointed for that year in the non-treaty Hunkpapa village
once it reconstituted in Canada? I think Pretty
Bear is also accorded prominence in this period
too; again, he seems to fall into relative obscurity.
