Dr. Charles A. Eastman Ohiyesa (Winner) Wahpeton Dakota Page Navigation Buttons C harles A. Eastman, Ohiyesa (Winner), Wahpeton Dakota (Eastern Woodland Sioux), 1858-1939. Physician, autobiographer, legend re-teller, essayist, lecturer. C O hiyesa was first named Hakadah (the Pitiful Last One), because his mother died shortly after his brith, somewhere near Redwood Falls, in southwestern Minnesota, in 1858. His first volume of memoirs depicting his traditional life, raised by his Wahpeton grandmother does not make it clear that almost all this boyhood took place in Manitoba, Canada, after the band had fled U.S. Army and bounty-hunters, following the defeat of the Dakota uprising in Minnesota, in 1862. T his 19th-century ink drawing by an unidentified Canadian artist shows Minnesota Dakota refugees arriving in Canada. U ncheeda (Ohiyesa's grandmother) and several of his siblings lived in Manitoba, with other Minnesota Dakota refugees, from 1862 - 74 on the land of his uncle, Mysterious Medicine, who had a farm in wooded country in Manitoba, Canada. T hus most of the experiences he recounts of his traditional boyhood, his religious upbringing, the tales he heard, the ceremonies and festivals, actually occurred among the Minnesota Dakota exiles in Canada. Ohiyesa spent 11 of th 15 years of his traditional life there, mostly in Manitoba.

2. Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman), Santee Sioux The Books of Charles A. Eastman (Ohiyesa). Every age, every race, has its leaders and heroes. There were over sixty distinct tribes of Indians on this http://www.indians.org/welker/ohiyesa.htm

Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman) Santee Sioux "The true Indian sets no price upon either his property or his labor. His generosity is limited only by his strength and ability. He regards it as an honor to be selected for difficult or dangerous service and would think it shameful to ask for any reward, saying rather: "Let the person I serve express his thanks according to his own bringing up and his sense of honor. Each soul must meet the morning sun, the new sweet earth, and the Great Silence alone!. What is Silence? It is the Great Mystery! The Holy Silence is His voice! Whenever, in the course of the daily hunt, the hunter comes upon a scene that is strikingly beautiful or sublime a black thundercloud with the rainbow's arch above the mountain, a white waterfall in the heart of a green gorge, a vast prairie tinged with the blood-red of the sunset he pauses for an instant in an attitude of worship. He sees no need for setting apart one day in seven as a holy day, because to him all days are God's days. The first American mingled with his pride a singular humility. Spiritual arrogance was foreign to his nature and teaching. He never claimed that the power of articulate speech was proof of superiority over the dumb creation; on the other hand, it is to him a perilous gift.

7. Gall Ohiyesa (Charles Eastman's) biographical sketch of the Lakota chief. http://www.indigenouspeople.net/gall.htm

Gall as Remembered by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman) Chief Gall was one of the most aggressive leaders of the Sioux nation in their last stand for freedom. The westward pressure of civilization during the past three centuries has been tremendous. When our hemisphere was "discovered", it had been inhabited by the natives for untold ages, but it was held undiscovered because the original owners did not chart or advertise it. Yet some of them at least had developed ideals of life which included real liberty and equality to all men, and they did not recognize individual ownership in land or other property beyond actual necessity. It was a soul development leading to essential manhood. Under this system they brought forth some striking characters. Gall was considered by both Indians and whites to be a most impressive type of physical manhood. From his picture you can judge of this for yourself. Let us follow his trail. He was no tenderfoot. He never asked a soft place for himself. He always played the game according to the rules and to a finish. To be sure, like every other man, he made some mistakes, but he was an Indian and never acted the coward. The earliest stories told of his life and doings indicate the spirit of the man in that of the boy.

10. Little Crow Ohiyesa (Charles Eastman's) biographical sketch of the Sioux leader. http://www.indians.org/welker/littcrow.htm

Little Crow as Remembered by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman) Chief Little Crow was the eldest son of Cetanwakuwa (Charging Hawk). It was on account of his father's name, mistranslated Crow, that he was called by the whites "Little Crow." His real name was Taoyateduta, His Red People. As far back as Minnesota history goes, a band of the Sioux called Kaposia (Light Weight, because they were said to travel light) inhabited the Mille Lacs region. Later they dwelt about St. Croix Falls, and still later near St. Paul. In 1840, Cetanwakuwa was still living in what is now West St. Paul, but he was soon after killed by the accidental discharge of his gun. It was during a period of demoralization for the Kaposias that Little Crow became the leader of his people. His father, a well-known chief, had three wives, all from different bands of the Sioux. He was the only son of the first wife, a Leaf Dweller. There were two sons of the second and two of the third wife, and the second set of brothers conspired to kill their half-brother in order to keep the chieftainship in the family. Two kegs of whisky were bought, and all the men of the tribe invited to a feast. It was planned to pick some sort of quarrel when all were drunk, and in the confusion Little Crow was to be murdered. The plot went smoothly until the last instant, when a young brave saved the intended victim by knocking the gun aside with his hatchet, so that the shot went wild. However, it broke his right arm, which remained crooked all his life. The friends of the young chieftain hastily withdrew, avoiding a general fight; and later the council of the Kaposias condemned the two brothers, both of whom were executed, leaving him in undisputed possession.

13. Red Cloud Ohiyesa's (Charles Eastman's) recollections of the Sioux leader. http://www.indigenouspeople.net/redcloud.htm

Red Cloud "When we first made treaties with the Government, this was our position: Our old life and our old customs were about to end; the game upon which we lived was disappearing; the whites were closing around us, and nothing remained for us but to adopt their ways and have the same rights with them if we wished to save ourselves." Red Cloud, as Remembered by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman) Red Cloud was born about 1819 near the forks of the Platte River. He was one of a family of nine children whose father, an able and respected warrior, reared his son under the old Spartan regime. The young Red Cloud is said to have been a fine horseman, able to swim across the Missouri and Yellowstone rivers, of high bearing and unquestionable courage, yet invariably gentle and courteous in everyday life. This last trait, together with a singularly musical and agreeable voice, has always been characteristic of the man. When he was about six years old, his father gave him a spirited colt, and said to him: "My son, when you are able to sit quietly upon the back of this colt without saddle or bridle, I shall be glad, for the boy who can win a wild creature and learn to use it will as a man be able to win and rule men."

As a Sioux, he was known as Ohiyesa. His father was a Sioux Indian; his mother was the daughter of a U.S. Army officer and the granddaughter of a famous Sioux chief. Ohiyesa had the traditional upbringing of a Sioux from 1858 to 1874, followed by an undergraduate degree from Dartmouth and a medical degree from Boston University Medical School. He became a fully licensed physician. He was the only physician to aid victims of the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890. Because of racism, his ability to earn a living as a physician was always difficult. To support his family, in 1895 he began working for the YMCA organizing programs for youth living on Indian reservations. In 1920 he helped verify the burial site of Sacajawea.

16. Crazy Horse/Tashunkewitko, Oglala Biography of Crazy Horse by Ohiyesa (Dr. Charles Alexander Eastman). http://www.indians.org/welker/crazyhor.htm

Indigenous Peoples' Literature Crazy Horse/Tashunkewitko , Oglala "A very great vision is needed and the man who has it must follow it as the eagle seeks the deepest blue of the sky. I was hostile to the white man...we preferred hunting to a life of idleness on our reservations. At times we did not get enough to eat and we were not allowed to hunt. All we wanted was peace and to be left alone. Soldiers came and destroyed our villages. Then Long Hair (Custer) came...They say we massacred him, but he would have done the same to us. Our first impulse was to escape but we were so hemmed in we had to fight." Crazy Horse, as Remembered by Ohiyesa (Charles A. Eastman) Crazy Horse (Tashunkewitko) was born on the Republican River about 1845. He was killed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, in 1877, so that he lived barely thirty-three years. He was an uncommonly handsome man. While not the equal of Gall in magnificence and imposing stature, he was physically perfect, an Apollo in symmetry. Furthermore he was a true type of Indian refinement and grace. He was modest and courteous as Chief Joseph; the difference is that he was a born warrior, while Joseph was not. However, he was a gentle warrior, a true brave, who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux. Notwithstanding all that biased historians have said of him, it is only fair to judge a man by the estimate of his own people rather than that of his enemies. The boyhood of Crazy Horse was passed in the days when the western Sioux saw a white man but seldom, and then it was usually a trader or a soldier. He was carefully brought up according to the tribal customs. At that period the Sioux prided themselves on the training and development of their sons and daughters, and not a step in that development was overlooked as an excuse to bring the child before the public by giving a feast in its honor. At such times the parents often gave so generously to the needy that they almost impoverished themselves, thus setting an example to the child of self-denial for the general good. His first step alone, the first word spoken, first game killed, the attainment of manhood or womanhood, each was the occasion of a feast and dance in his honor, at which the poor always benefited to the full extent of the parents' ability.

HOME The Complete Chautauquan The Great Plains Chautauqua By Jeffrey Scott Maxwell Great Plains Starts 2001 Chautauqua Season in Enid Diane and I went to see The Great Plains Chautauqua Society on Monday, June 18, during their first week of the season at Government Springs Park in Enid, Oklahoma. The evening began with the classical guitar music of Edgar Cruz. A native of Oklahoma City, Cruz is well known throughout Oklahoma as an accomplished guitarist of 25 years experience, who can play just about any kind of music that has been played on a acoustic guitar including (my favorite) his arrangement of rock group Queen's hit Bohemian Rhapsody. We heard reports from other audience members in attendance that night that the music on the other nights at Enid were also outstanding. Kudos to the Enid Chautauqua Board on bringing such fine music to the Chautauqua platform. Chief Chautauquan Ruth Ann Alexander was present, as she starts what might possibly be her last year on tour with the Great Plains Chautauqua Society. Professor Alexander has worked as a scholar portraying characters on the Chautauqua platform for many years. This will be her fourth year as the Chief Chautauquan, a role in which she acts as narrator to set the scene for the theme of the Chautauqua week. Then, when the scholar has completed his or her monologue in character, Alexander serves as moderator for the question and answer sessions, the first with the scholar in character, answering as the historic figure, and second with the scholar answering questions out of character as the scholar.
