Taoyateduta

            Mask of Chief Little Crow (Taoyateduta) created by Ed Archie Noisecat in Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Originally slated to be a state park and ending up becoming one of the premier Minneapolis parks. Minnehaha is now part of the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area run by the National Park Service.

Little Crow was the leader of the Dakota during the 1862 Dakota Conflict (formerly known as the Sioux Uprising), however he advised his people against going to war. "But if you strike at them they will all turn on you and devour you and your women and children just as the locusts in their time fall on the trees and devour all the leaves in one day" he told them. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to lead them saying, "Taoyateduta is not a coward, He will die with you."

Little Crow survived the conflict, but was killed after the war while he and his son were picking berries near Hutchinson, Minnesota. A settler and his son who were out hunting came upon them, and after an exchange of gunfire, Little Crow was dead. 

His skull and other remains were displayed in the State Capitol building until 1915 and then ended up in a box at the Minnesota Historical Society. After years of trying, Little Crow's grandson, Jesse Wakeman, finally convinced the state to turn the remains over to him in 1971. Wakeman had them buried in a family plot in Flandrau, South Dakota.
