In the legend of a medicine The Story of Little Hill-A Winnebago Chief By David Smith

In May of 1863, the Winnebago Tribe was moved by boat from St. Paul, Min- nesota to Crow Creek, South Dakota. The trip down the Mississippi River and up the Missouri River took 25 days. Along the way, they passed the Omaha Res- ervation by Black Bird bend. Here, War Chief Little Priest made two Winnebago warriors drop off the boat and swim inland to the Omaha village. These two men were, Little Hog and John Omaha. They were to meet with Omaha chiefs about the possibility of buying land from them so the Winnebago’s could move down to North East Nebraska. The rest of the Winnebago’s went up to their new reservation located at Crow Creek. The living conditions were horrible there, and the people had nothing to eat, and many of them froze to death. Between, June of 1863 to June of 1865, some 673 Winnebago people died. Winnebago Clan System Chief Little Priest was asked by General Alfred Sully to scout for him against By David “Tim” Smith the Northern Lakota people. If he helped him, he then would help get land from the Omaha’s for the Winnebago people. It hurt little Priest deep in his heart to Air Family fi ght against his own brothers, but he didn’t want all his people to die at Crow Creek. So he said he would scout for the U.S. Calvary against the Lakota. The Thunder Clan: Chiefs came out of this clan.

In March of 1866, before Little Priest went on his last war party with Com- Friendship Clans: pany A, Omaha Scouts; the Winnebago’s had a council with the Omaha tribal leaders half way between the two reservations. The meeting took place near some Thunder-Eagle white stone cliffs. Today the place is called “New Deal Camp”. The Omaha’s Hawk-Pigeon who just received some livestock from the United States government sent word Bear-Wolf to the Winnebago’s that they would bring the meat for the kettles. When the Buffalo-Water Spirit Omaha’s arrived, they brought with them 10 deer, 10 dogs, and ten heads from Deer-Elk some pigs they got from the government for selling the Winnebago’ land on the Snake-Fish northern part of their reservation. The Omaha ’s kept the best part of the pigs for themselves. This was supposed to be a joke on the Winnebago’s because the Friendship Clans Responsibilities: Omaha ’s never thought the Winnebago’s would eat them. At fi rst Little Priest and his warriors were perplexed on what to do with Naming Ceremony the pig-heads. Finally a medicine man said, “We should cook the pig-heads the Wake and Burials of their Friendship Clan same way we cook the dog”. So they burned all the hair off the pig-heads and Revenge For Your Friendship Clan cut them into pieces. Then they put them into a kettle of boiling water.
