Little Crow

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

Little Crow (c. 1820–1863)

US Mdewakanton (Santee) Sioux. Friendly with whites to the point of helping them track down ‘hostile’ American Indians, he was said by some to have been boastful and often drunk. But in 1862, rebelling against his people's deteriorating condition, he was one of the leaders in an uprising of the Sioux centred around New Ulm, Minnesota. Approximately 200 to 300 white settlers were reported killed; within six weeks, about 1,000 Sioux were captured by volunteer forces and eventually 39 were executed. Little Crow escaped capture, only to be killed by a white settler some months later while picking berries with his son. Little Crow was born near present-day St Paul, Minnesota.
