Eagle Woman December 31, 2018 -- Eagle-Woman-That-All-

Look-At was the daughter of Two Lance, chief of the Upper Yankton Nakota, who felt she was destined to gain some of the admiration the tribe had given him. He was correct. She was respect-ed for her integrity, strength and sense of justice.

Eagle Woman married Honore Picotte, a French fur trader at Fort Union. When he died, she mar-ried another trader, Major Charles Galpin, who called her Little Eagle. Other whites called her Matilda or Mrs. Galpin.

In 1862, while Eagle Woman accompanied Ma-jor Galpin on a trading expedition among the Blackfeet Indians in Montana, Santee Indians fired on them in their keelboat. The Santee pushed out in small boats, surrounded Galpin, Eagle Woman, and the crew, and towed them to shore.

Four aggressive chiefs were among the group. Another man recognized Eagle Woman as a fellow Yankton. He paddled closer and whispered, “Sis-ter, I will try to save you.” Eagle Woman showed no emotion as she awaited their fate. Finally, one of the chiefs said, “Eagle Woman, we spare the daughter of Two Lance. We have scalps enough. You and your lodge may go.”

From this experience, Eagle Woman realized the escalating distrust and fear Indians felt to-ward whites. So it wasn’t welcome news when Fa-ther De Smet asked Major Galpin to bring Eagle Woman as interpreter on an expedition to find Sitting Bull in Montana. She realized this was an opportunity to prevent further bloodshed, and she agreed and helped persuade 70 friendly war-riors near Ft. Rice to come along for protection.

Three days from Sitting Bull’s camp, a band of Lakota dropped down onto them from a cliff. They were told that Sitting Bull was willing to talk to Father De Smet and was waiting at his camp on Powder River. Privately, Chief Four Moons told Eagle Woman that they would probably kill the two white men, and that she should stay apart from them. But she refused.

When they reached the camp of 600 tepees and five thousand Lakota on the banks of the Yel-lowstone River. Father De Smet and Major Galpin were led away to a tepee, but Eagle Woman spent the rest of the day going from tepee to tepee as a sign of respect and friendship. When she finally returned that evening, she was relieved to see the major and the priest not only safe but well fed and resting.

The following morning, the three were led to a council chamber where Sitting Bull, Four Horns, Gall, Sitting Buffalo and others waited. Eagle Woman knew the strength of the U.S. military and advised the Lakota to stop fighting. “The white men are stronger than your thousands of warriors,” she said. “What good will your hunting grounds do you when their blood cries out from the ground?”

Sitting Buffalo, the medicine man, resisted. “My people shall not come to the fort to live like old men too old to hunt. What are you, a Sioux or a white man’s slave?”

Eagle Woman countered, “Were I a white man’s slave, Sitting Buffalo, I would not have come to you! We came of our own will, even though we learned that you planned to kill us.”

In the end, Eagle Woman and the priest con-vinced Sitting Bull to let Chief Gall and forty lodg-es go back with them to northern Dakota Terri-tory to appraise the Lakota’s options.

When her husband died, Eagle Woman took up his business and became a respected and successful trader. One account states that, “The commissioners and agents agree that she wields

a more powerful influence among the Grand Riv-er tribes than any of their chiefs.” Some accounts even state that she became a chief herself, but because she married white men, that’s not pos-sible.

In 1872, the U.S. government chose Eagle Wom-an to personally select a delegation of thirteen chiefs and accompany them to Washington, D.C. to meet with President Grant, General Sherman and the Secretary of the Interior. Then, they were taken on a tour of the war department, naval yard and arsenal to impress the chiefs with their military strength. The delegation also attended an opera in New York. They were supposed to go on to Boston, but with some of the chiefs ill, and the others homesick, Eagle Woman cut the tour short and the delegation returned home to Fort Rice.

At home, skirmishes with the Lakota contin-ued. One day, Lieutenant Benjamin Wilson was ambushed while on a logging detail. Three arrows knocked him off his horse – one in the shoulder, one in the thigh, and another in the back.

Eagle Woman saw it happen from her window and ran outside. She understood what would happen next and threw her shawl over Wilson as three men circled back. In her native tongue she yelled, “This man belongs to me now! You cannot touch him!”

They circled her, but she knew if she held her ground, they would back off. She had done it with the Lakota in Montana. And she had once stopped a war party at the Grand River Agency by promising that if they’d stop fighting, she’d cook for them.

It worked this time, too.Eagle Woman was with her daughter, Alma Par-

kins, when she died on December 18, 1888, at the Parkins Ranch near Cannon Ball, North Dakota. Her other daughter, Lucille Van Solen, started the first school on Standing Rock Reservation; Solen, North Dakota, is named after her.

Fargo ForumJanuary 1, 2019 -- In the start of a new year, it is

nice to step back and think about what has hap-pened and what is to come. Many cities publish information summing up events and statistics of the old year. On the first day of 1948, the Fargo Forum published a forty-page newspaper, filled with description of the previous year’s progress and with predictions for the coming year in the Fargo-Moorhead area.

The baby boom was definitely well under way; among the top articles in the many, many pages, the Forum listed reports of increased popula-tion. The Cass county birth rate was up, and the divorce rate was down, one article stated. Judg-ing by gas and water connections, telephones and electric meters, though, not all of which had been installed, the city had grown by hundreds, even thousands.

Of course, with increased people, more places of business and residence needed to be estab-lished. The Forum claimed that residential con-struction hit five million dollars in 1947, and it showed no signs of stopping.

Therefore, it should serve as no surprise that the North Dakota baby derby, celebrating the first new baby born in the New Year, benefitted a West Fargo child, a girl born to the Mannes family at 12:25 a.m. on January 1.

But a baby boy was born at the exact same time in Minot, to the Wilson family.

“The 1948 stork derby in North Dakota will go down in the books as a two-way tie between the sexes,” the Bismarck Tribune stated.

It was an auspicious start to a new generation.

Prairie Fare: Diet tips for 2019By Julie Garden-Robinson,

Food and Nutrition SpecialistNDSU Extension Service

Most of us have known some-one who has been on a weight-loss diet, and perhaps the per-son lost a considerable amount of weight.

Maybe you are pondering weight loss as a goal in the coming weeks or months. We hear weight-loss promotions all around us, especially as we begin a new year. In fact, the weight loss industry is worth more than $66 billion annually in the U.S.

You may have seen late-night infomercials promoting exer-cise gadgets or supplements that promise quick fixes. These miracle potions and devices can be tempting.

Who doesn’t want to press the “easy button” on challeng-ing issues, at least once in a while?

As we know, excess weight can increase the risk for many diseases, including diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Car-rying extra weight can promote joint issues leading to mobility problems.

Losing even 5 to 10 percent of body weight (if overweight) can reduce the risk of diabetes and other chronic diseases.

More than 20 years ago, the National Weight Control Reg-istry was launched in the U.S. The participants continue to track their outcomes long-term, and many research papers have been written about their prog-ress through time.

Most (98 percent) modified their food intake to lose weight, and most (94 percent) increased their physical activity. The most common physical activity was walking.

About 45 percent lost weight on their own, and the rest had help from some type of weight-loss program. In all, they had some important things in com-mon. They ate breakfast ev-ery day (78 percent), and they exercised an hour per day (90

percent). About 62 percent watched fewer than 10 hours of TV weekly.

Instead of a “diet,” consider some general tips that promote behavior changes:nKeep a food diary to see

what you are eating and when you eat. You can rate your lev-el of hunger during eating and snacking in your journal, too.nEat a balanced breakfast

that includes at least three of the five food groups.nKeep high-fiber, low-sugar

snacks, such as fresh vegeta-bles and fruits, on hand.nConsider your drink choic-

es. Drink water instead of sweet-ened beverages when you are thirsty.nGet enough sleep. Aim for

seven to eight hours of sleep per night.nServe yourself smaller serv-

ing sizes or take home part of restaurant meals.nAvoid eating in front of the

TV.nGet moving. To lose weight,

experts recommend 300 min-utes of moderate activity per week (60 minutes on five or more days of the week). Walking at a pace of 4 miles per hour can help promote weight loss.nSet a goal and track your

progress.See https://www.choosemy-

plate.gov for tips such as these:nVary your veggies. Aim for at

least 3 cups of vegetables daily.nFocus on whole fruits in-

stead of fruit juices. Aim for at least 2 cups of fruit, especially whole fruit, daily.nMake half of your grain

choices whole grains. Try whole-wheat bread and pasta, oatmeal and brown rice.nSwitch to low-fat or fat-free

dairy.nVary your protein routine.

Choose lean proteins of all types.

Here’s a delicious dinner with nutrient-rich veggies to enjoy without guilt on a chilly winter night. “Sweet” paprika is the typical paprika we buy in the grocery store; hot paprika and smoked paprika have a different flavor. You can vary the flavor of this dish by using your favorite type of paprika.

Paprika Chicken and Vegetables One-pan Meal

6 chicken thighs1/4 tsp. salt, divided1 pound Brussels sprouts,

trimmed and halved2 sweet potatoes, peeled and

cubed2 shallots, peeled and quar-

tered3 1/2 tsp. garlic, minced, di-

vided3 Tbsp. olive oil (plus more

for drizzling)1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Spice Mixture2 Tbsp. sweet paprika, divid-

ed1 tsp. dried cilantro, divided1 tsp. allspice, dividedPreheat the oven to 425 de-

grees F. Sprinkle chicken lightly with salt on both sides. Set the chicken aside while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. Place the Brussels sprouts, potatoes and shallots on a large sheet pan. Season the vegetables light-ly with salt and drizzle olive oil, then toss the vegetables to mix. In a small bowl, mix the spices. Sprinkle 1 Tbsp. of the spice mixture on top of the veggies. To the remaining spice mixture, add 2 tsp. garlic, 3 Tbsp. olive oil and 1 Tbsp. lemon juice. Stir into a paste. Brush both sides of the chicken and under the skin with this paste. Add the chicken to the pan, then sprinkle remain-ing minced garlic on top of the chicken and vegetables. Roast for about 35 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165 F and the vegetables are tender.
