Tatanka Mani
McGhiever: added Category:1829 deaths using HotCat
'''Tatanka Mani''' (Walking Buffalo) (ca. 1755–1829) was a leader of the [[Mdewakanton]] [[Dakota people|Dakota]] in the upper Mississippi Valley. Euro-American immigrants who met him as they advanced into the region in the early 19th century came to know him and his village as '''Red Wing'''.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
Tatanka Mani was born in the mid-18th century. It is likely his Mantanton family (a sub-group of the Mdewakanton) lived near the mouth of the [[Minnesota River]]. His father, also known as Red Wing, was leader of their group of Mdewakanton, and he followed in his footsteps.<ref name=":0" />
As a young Dakota man, Tatanka Mani displayed great skill in hunting and warfare. Followers believed he possessed supernatural power and the ability to foretell the future through dreams—an advantage that led him to many victories over tribal enemies. By the end of the 18th century, he had expanded his leadership beyond the Mantanton to a larger group of Mdewakanton, earning a regional reputation in the process. He was known by French traders in the region due to his prominence.<ref name=":0" />
In August 1805, 26-year-old Lieutenant [[Zebulon Pike]] led the first United States expedition through the upper Mississippi region and met with seven Mdewakanton leaders. In a treaty they signed on September 23, the Dakota granted land in what became the future [[Minnesota]] to the United States for first time. According to Pike's account, le Boeuf qui Marche, (the French name for Tatanka Mani) was present.<ref name=":0" />
War broke out between the United States and Great Britain in 1812, creating a problem for Tatanka Mani. The Mdewakanton fighter and his followers had earlier been British allies. To sort out matters, he sent his eldest son to join other Dakota leaders in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington D.C.]], where they conferred with the U.S. Secretary of War. Red Wing, meanwhile, joined other leaders and met with Great Britain's representative, and the Mdewakanton agreed to fight for the British.<ref name=":0" />
Tatanka Mani is believed to have led a unit of Dakota soldiers to [[Mackinac Island]] in [[Michigan]], helping to gain a bloodless victory over the Americans there. Upon returning home, however, he listened to his son's stories of the United States' power. By February 1814, the Red Wing Mdewakanton had decided to offer support to the Americans. A letter from British trader Robert Dickson confirms the defection. At war's end, the victorious United States invited Red Wing to a meeting in [[St. Louis]]. On July 19, 1815, he agreed to a treaty as "Tatangamanee, Walking Buffalo", spokesman for the "Sioux (Dakota) of the Lakes".<ref name=":0" />
During the war, Tatanka Mani had moved his village south, to the foot of [[Barn Bluff (Red Wing, Minnesota)|He Mni Caŋ]] in present-day downtown [[Red Wing, Minnesota]]. The 300-foot-high riverside promontory was a well known landmark. Growing numbers of whites traveling up the Mississippi stopped at the village, meeting and talking with the aging Mdewakanton leader. In 1825, he took part in important discussions with [[Ojibwe]] and United States leaders downriver at [[Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin]].<ref name=":0" />
Tatanka Mani died on March 4, 1829, and was succeeded by [[Wacouta I]], his nephew or stepson.<ref name=":0" />
