This marker was placed south of the site of the house of Little Crow. After the return of the chief with a delegation from Washington in 1858, Little was the recipient of numerous favors from the authorities. His house was a comfortable frame, a story and a half in height, supplied with stoves, beds and other furniture, and he may have lived like a white man. Little Crow was born at the Indian village of Kaposia, near St. Paul, in 1820. He was the third chieftain of the Medawakanton band of Sioux to bear the name of Little Crow. His real name, or that which he bore until he became a chief, was Tah-o-yahtayhief -doota, meaning literally His Nation Red, or, as he is called in books, His Red Nation. Little Crow became chief upon the death of his father, the second Little Crow. Little Crow was the commander-in-chief of the Indian forces during the Dakota Conflict. He was killed six miles north of Hutchinson on July 3, 1863, by a Mr. Lampson. He, with a small party of followers had slipped down from Devil's Lake, now in North Dakota, after the apparent end of the Dakota Conflict.
