This is interesting !! ..........

In the mortuary rites of the Lakota the relatives immediately after death combed the hair of the deceased, dressed the body in fine cloathing, and painted the face red. Then occurred the first day's performance of the Ghost Keeper ceremony, itself an elaborate mortuary service. After removing a lock of hair, the laid the body on a buffalo-robe, wrapped it tightly in several skins, and tied it securely with thongs. For the preparation of the burial-platform, the relatives selected a poor person of the same sex as the deceased, who erected the scaffold in a tree by fastening poles from branch to branch. The same person who prepared the resting-place carried the body out and lashed it securely to the platform. Relatives and friends followed, giving vent to their grief in true primitive fashion by loud wailing and crying. Food was left with the body, and the favorite horse was killed, that the spirit might travel in a fitting manner to the after-world in the south

And Daniel Kills Alive !! ( they have to be the same family !! )

The Koshares own one thousand pieces of beadwork made by the Plains and Chippewa Native Americans.  One of the featured pieces of the beadwork collection is the complete regalia of Daniel Kills Alive.  Kills Alive was a full blooded Oglala Sioux who lived on the Pine Ridge Reservation.  He appeared in several Wild West Shows around 1925 until 1947.  Included in his outfit is a beautiful buckskin shirt, beaded leggins, trade cloth leggings and eagle feather war bonnet.  In addition to Daniel's regalia are letters which relate to how he trying to get government aid and how the government is trying to collect taxes from him at the same time.

The regalia of Daniel Kills Alive has been a wonderful asset to the museum and his personal letters paint a better picture of the relationship between the Native American and the government in the early 1900s. Some of the letters relate how he is trying to get government aid and how the government is trying to collect taxes from him. Another interesting piece of this collection is a certificate from the 1901 Indian Congress, showing his participation in the event over one hundred years ago.

If you scroll down through the blog you'll see many photos of the disaster and its victims, if you scroll way down to near the end there's of photo of Winifred Crager. Winifred was born in England while GCC was on tour with B.B.W.W.S.. There are a several books written about this tragedy and a documentary appearing on  the History Channel called 'Ship Ablaze', that was also one of the books names.

Here's some more of Philips photos ... what a treasure this one is with Geronimo !! 

Standing to Lillian's left is Chief Geronimo, to his left is General Miles, circa 1901. Geronimo was still a Prisoner of War at this time and most likely under the supervision of General Miles
but I expect by this time they were old pals and drinking buddies. The Chief is noted to have loved taking a nip . . .
