Topic: Hunkpapa


  
  Hunkpapa Sioux Indian Tribe History
From the meager data relating to the history of this band it seeing probable that it is one of comparatively modern formation.
When Hennepin, in 1680, found what are believed to have been the Teton as far i,:% as the banks of the upper Mississippi, no mention of the Hunkpapa at that early date or for 100 years there after can be found unless it be under some name yet un identified.
Fire-Heart's band (Chantaapeta's band) is supposed to be a part of the Hunkpapa.

 Jeffrey Halford and the Healers
Hunkpapa deftly intertwines our own American mythology with those things about which we care most.
The core music in Hunkpapa is all Healers: a searing, rock gumbo combining essential ingredients of blues, folk, rockabilly, Sun Records country, all with a very big beat.
Hunkpapa is complemented by an array of notable guest artists, including members of the renowned Gospel Hummingbirds, who practically sanctify the gospel-infused Satchel’s Fastball.

  Hunkpapa - Throwing Muses - Song Listings
Not quite as riveting as Throwing Muses or House Tornado and not quite as accessible as the band's later albums, Hunkpapa finds the Muses in transition; most of the album's songs just aren't as focused or powerful as their other work.
However, Hunkpapa isn't a total loss: the wild, desolate "Bea" and harrowing "Mania" put rock muscle behind the wildness of the Muses' early work, resulting in two of their best songs.
Tanya Donelly's "Dragonhead" and "Angel" continue her growth as a pop songwriter; though it's reported to be one of her least favorite Muses songs, Kristin Hersh's "Dizzy" proves that she can write relatively straightforward pop songs as well as anguished, complex ones.

 Sitting Bull
One day, when the Hunkpapa were attacked by a large war party of Crows, he fell upon the enemy's war leader with his knife.
It was not, however, the Hunkpapa band of Sioux, Sitting Bull's band, which first took up arms against the whites; and this was not because they had come less in contact with them, for they dwelt on the Missouri River, the natural highway of trade.
This brought Sitting Bull face to face with a question which was not yet fully matured in his own mind; but having satisfied himself of the justice of their cause, he joined forces with the renegades during the summer of 1863, and from this time on he was an acknowledged leader.

 Amazon.com: Hunkpapa: Music: Throwing Muses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
HUNKPAPA was the third album of Throwing Muses, a riotous foursome of young New Englanders who were the first American signing to the legendary British label 4AD, the inspiration for a number of rock acts, and one of the most terribly underappreciated bands for the general public.
Among the songs Hersh contributes is "Bea", apparently the memoirs of a desparate prostitute, one of the Muses' finest songs in its combination of surprisingly coherent lyricism with a sublimely elegant musical arc.
The key question concering the Muses and records like " Hunkpapa " today though is whether there is a possibility of an important number of new listeners in the near future.

 Fort St. Joseph artifacts and Sitting Bull story
At the time of Sitting Bull's birth in 1831, the seven tribes lived as nomads in the vast plains that stretched from the Missouri River to the Bighorn Mountains and from the Platte and Republican Rivers to the Canadian prairies.
The economy of the Hunkpapa was inextricably tied to the buffalo, and all aspects of life, both social and political, were tied to the migrations and habits of the great herds.
He was the Hunkpapa's most effective weapon against the whites, but his efforts ultimately proved futile.
