Following Sitting Bull's surrender to the United States Army in
1881, the Indian Division of the United States Census Office
conducted a full and detailed census of the Sioux Indians at
Standing Rock Indian Agency in central Dakota Territory. This
census is the most complete and accurate account of Sitting Bull's
followers and, until Ephriam Dickson III compiled this important
work, the information contained within its pages had been hidden in
archives beyond the reach of most researchers. Dickson's book
provides researchers and historians with an unrivalled resource
with which to assess and analyze this group of American Indians. In
The Sitting Bull Surrender Census, Dickson has taken one of the
total thirty-three different lists of Lakota families, with support
from oral histories, and provided insight into the composition of
community or tiyospaye at Standing Rock, as Lakotas shifted from
their traditional buffalo-hunting ways to their new sedentary life
on the reservation. The Sitting Bull Surrender Census preserves the
earliest detailed enumeration of every Lakota man, woman, and child
at the agency at a critical juncture in Lakota history, just as the
last of the non-treaty bands under Sitting Bull returned from
Canada and joined their relatives at Standing Rock. Viewed within
the context of Standing Rock's rich documentary sources, Sitting
Bull Surrender Census offers a remarkable snapshot of Lakota
families and communities.
