In this paper I shall first try to reconstruct its history in the 19th Century, centring on the tiwahe that I think was the core of the band, that associated with the Sword-Owner brothers and their father Brave Bear (ca. In the 19th Century the Bad Face, or Ite Sica band was one of the most prominent bands in the Oglala tribe. Ray DeMallie is editing the George Sword mss for publication by the Smithsonian Institution. Walker, transcripts at the Colorado Historical Society and in the Ella Deloria papers. The detailed genealogy, listing Brave Bear's wives and their children, is taken from the George Sword interview material given to James R. Ok Carlo, you asked for it! Here is my working paper on the Brave Bear-Sword family. This would make perfect sense to me, but do we have any additional proof? So three brothers were named Sword at some time in their lives. Could this Sword killed in 1861/1863 be their older brother? In that case, Sword Owner actually took his older brother's name, which was in turn taken by George Sword. This Sword was a "nephew of Red Cloud" and the story states that George Sword took his name after his death, but this is obviously incorrect as George Sword actually took the name of his older brother and shirt wearer Sword Owner in 1877, after his death in 1876. Red Cloud was in this battle and he left us a detailed report (Eli Paul 1997).
I'm working on a story from 1861/1863, when an Oglala warrior named Sword was killed in a battle with the Crows. It is said that his sons were Red Cloud's nephews, so Brave Bear was Red Cloud's brother in law, married to one of his sisters.īut do we have any more details about Brave Bear? I'm specifically interested in his sons we know two of them, Sword Owner and Hunts The Enemy/Enemy's Bait (George Sword), but did he have any others? He supposedly was a proponent of peace with the US. He signed the 1868 treaty and traveled to Washington a year later with other Lakota heavy hitters. Brave Bear, itancan and former shirt wearer, was a prominent Oglala leader.
