"Matokinajin", "Chief Little Standing Buffalo", (“bear that comes and stands”) is a Santee Sioux Chief and the son of Chief Standing Buffalo, "Tatanka-najin". Chief Little Standing Buffalo was born, in 1846 and crossed-over one final time to the Spirit World, June 21st 1921, in Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan. Chief Matokinajin was born in the region of North America that became the Minnesota and Dakota territories. In 1862, after several decades of "maladministered treaties', the Sioux in the eastern part of the region were left destitute, with no lands in Minnesota and relegated to "temporary reservations". Finally, when annuities became further delayed by the "Civil War", some Sioux (or, more correctly, Dakota People) seized food and clothing and began a resistance, killing some settlers. Chief Standing Buffalo's (Tatanka-najin"s) band, the most westerly of the Eastern Dakota, were not part of the fighting and he gathered many who were fleeing and led them west and north, eventually, into British territory. Upon Chief Standing Buffalo's (Tatanka-najin"s) death, on June 5th 1871 and following the family tradition of his father and grandfather, Chief Matokinajin took the name of his great-grandfather, Standing Buffalo. Known as: "Chief Little Standing Buffalo", he became the leader, of a portion of his father’s Northern Sisseton and Wahpeton followers.
