Sarah Long Chin - Northern Cheyenne

Sarah Long Chin - Northern Cheyenne

This the second segment of the Gillespie  family history.  How my Great grandmother (Northern Cheyenne) ended up on the Pine Ridge Reservation.  That is where her family was  enrolled as Oglala Sioux.  It was common that whichever reservation they resided at, is where they were enrolled by the government.  As you can only be enrolled in one tribe.

Many of my ancestors could speak Cheyenne, Lakota, and English.  We do know that she was with Crazy Horse’s band when the he came to Fort Robinson according to the book “The Surrender Ledger”. You will find out why great-grandfather George was afraid of the dark.
