Black Bear, Herman

Sex:       Male
Birth:     about 1878, probably South Dakota

Other Names or Aliases:

Owns Them Dead (his name in 1887 and 1890 census rolls)
Kills Running (only appears with this name in 1886 census roll)
Ta wicayuha (the Indian name for Owns them Dead in 1890 census)

Notes for Herman Black Bear BIRTH NOTE:
Indian Census has age in 1886, 1887, 1888, 1890, 1892, 1895, 1896 and 1897

NOTE:
Was listed as a son of Red Nest "Kills Running" in 1886 census, but he is definitely
listed as Red Nest's brother in the 1887 and 1890 Census rolls. He is likely to
be Red Nest's brother Herman Black Bear, but no solid proof at this point,
although Herman is living with Red Nest in 1892 when Owns Them Dead does not appear.
Only problem with that merger is that Herman's age is off by 2 years in the 1892
census from what Owns Them Dead's age would be. Anyhow, Kills Running is
only found as son of Red Nest in 1886 census but not after. Could be a child of
an unknown first wife, or the brother called Owns them Dead in censuses from
1887 onwards, or have been sent to Carlisle or have passed away. He might
have been born too early to be a child of Red Nest's wife Neck.
However, have merged records, household composition makes it look like the 1886 census was
simply wrong in saying that Kills Running was a son of Red Nest. English translations of
Indian names are close enough that he seems likely to be one and the same person who is
listed later in the household as brother in law of Red Nest's wife. Not sure where
Red Nest was those two years (1887 and 1888 census rolls).

Other Names or Aliases:

Married    ____, Black Bear (b. 1853 Nebraska)
           
Children:
    1. Black Bear, Belle (b. 1877)

Notes for Her Horse NAME NOTE: 
English given name in earlier census rolls

 BIRTH NOTE: 
Indian Census has age in 1887, 1888, 1890, 1892, 1893 and 1895

 BIRTH NOTE: 
some censuses say born South Dakota, but most say Nebraska, and her
stated ages are so variable it is impossible to be sure when she was
actually born.  However, there is a consistency that makes me wonder
whether Julia and Her Horse were one or two women.  All the records
for Her Horse, which are 1887, 1888 and 1890, show a birth of about 1851.
Then in 1892 Charles wife is Julia born about 1858-1860. The only data
supporting idea that Her Horse and Julia are one and the same woman,
are the stated length of her marriage to Charles in the 1900 and 1910
Federal censuses which are 20 years as of 1900 and 30 years in 1910.

 NOTE: 
first marriage was to Black Bear, second marriage, in about 1880, was to
Charles Yankton, whose Lakota name was Kills Enemy through 1890
