Oglala ('to scatter one's own'). The 

 principal division of the Teton Sioux. 

 Their early history is involved in com- 

 plete obscurity; their modern history re- 

 counts incessant contests with other 

 tribes and depredations on the whites. 

 The first recorded notice of them is that 

 of Lewis and Clark, who in 1806 found 

 them living above the Brule Sioux 

 on Missouri r., between Cheyenne, and 

 Bad rs., in the present South Dakota, 

 numbering 150 or 200 men. In 1S25 they 

 inhabited lioth banks of Bad r. from the 

 Missouri to the Black hills, and were 

 then friendly with the whites and at 

 peace with the Cheyenne, but enemies to 

 all other tribes except those of their own 

 nation. They were then estimated at 

 1,500 persons, of whom 300 were warriors. 

 Their general rendezvous was at the 

 mouth of Bad r., where there was a trad- 

 ing estaiilishment for their accommoda- 

 tion. In 1850 they roamed the plains lie- 

 tween the x. and s. forks of Platte r. and 

 w. of the Black hills. In 1862 they oc- 

 cupied the country extending x. e. from 

 Ft Laramie, at the mouth of Laramie r., 

 on North Platte r., including the Black 

 hills and the sources of Bad r. and reach- 

 ing to the fork of the Cheyenne, and 

 ranged as far w. as the head of Grand r. 

 De Smet (Ind. Aff. Rep., 277, 1865) says: 

 "The worst among the hostile bands are 

 the Blackfeet, the Ogallalas, the Unkpa- 

 pas, and Santees." The Oglala partici- 

 pated in the massacre of Lieut. Grattan 

 and his men at Ft Laramie in 1854. 

 From 1865 they and other restless bands 

 of Avestern Sioux were the terror of the 



frontier, constantly attacking emigrant 

 trains on the plains and boats on the river, 

 fighting soldiers, and harassing the forts 

 and stations during several years, un- 

 der the leadership of Sitting Bull and 

 Crazy Horse. The invasion of the Black 

 hills by gold seekers led to the war of 

 1876, in which Custer and his command 

 were destroyed. For several months pre- 

 vious thereto stragglers from other tribes 

 had been flocking to Sitting Bull's stand- 

 ard, so that according to the best esti- 

 mates there were at the battle of Little

Bighorn 2,500 or 3,000 Indian warriors. 

 The victor and his band were soon there- 

 after defeated by Gen. Miles and fled 

 to Canada. Crazy Horse and more than 

 2,000 followers surrendered at Red Cloud 

 and Spotted Tail agencies in the IMay 

 following. These different parties were 

 composed in part of Oglala, of whom 

 the larger part proV)ably surrendered with 

 Crazy Horse. 



The Oglala entered into a treaty of peace 

 with the United States at the mouth of 

 Teton (Bad) r., S. Dak., Julv 5, 1825, and
