Tatankamani
Red Wing II (c. 1755–1829), also known as Tatankamani (french: Le Boeuf qui Marche, ) was a leader of the Mdewakanton Dakota in the upper Mississippi Valley. During the War of 1812, Chief Red Wing II initially supported the British together with other Dakota chiefs, but switched sides to support the Americans in 1814. His village was at Barn Bluff in present-day Red Wing, Minnesota. Early life Tatankamani was born in the mid-18th century. His father, the original Chief Red Wing, took part in Pontiac's War. It is likely his Mantanton band, a sub-group of the Mdewakanton, lived for a time near the mouth of the Minnesota River. He succeeded his father as chief around 1806. As a young man, Tatankamani displayed great skill in hunting and warfare. Followers believed he possessed supernatural power and the ability to foretell the future through dreams—an advantage that led him to many victories over tribal enemies. By the end of the 18th century, he had expanded his leadershi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wacouta I
Wacouta I (Shooter) (c. 1800–1858) was a leader of the Red Wing band of Mdewakanton Dakota during the time of United States expansion into his people's homeland. Accession to leadership In spring 1829, Wacouta faced two challenges upon becoming leader of the Red Wing band of Mdewakanton Dakota. He needed to fend off challenges from rivals within his village and also find success in dealings with United States government officials. On March 4, 1829, the death of Tatankamani (Walking Buffalo), a widely respected Mdewakanton chief, left a vacuum in the leadership of his band. Tatankamani, also known as Red Wing, was renowned for his bravery and was thought to be able to see the future through dreams. Wacouta I seemed to be the person to replace Red Wing. Red Wing's surviving son had contracted a bone disease that left him unfit for leadership. Wacouta, as Red Wing's nephew and possible stepson, was next in line. In his early thirties, intelligent, strong, and imposing at six fee ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
