Sioux Chief Brought Home for Burial

The body of Long Wolf, a Sioux chief who died 105 years ago in London while traveling with Buffalo Bill Cody’s Wild West Show, was buried atop a wind-swept hill in Wolf Creek, S.D., his ancestral land. “I’m very glad my grandfather is home. I feel very good now,” said Jessie Black Feather, 87, Long Wolf’s closest living descendant. Long Wolf died of pneumonia in London in 1892. He was buried with 17-month-old Star, also known as White Star, who died when she fell from a horse during a London performance.
