The Fool Soldier Band Monument is located at the Klein Museum on west Hwy 12 in Mobridge, South Dakota.
Taking a trip down history lane you will want to see this monument. On August 20-22, 1862, a group of young Teton Sioux negotiated for the white captives of the Santee Indians and returned the captives to their families and friends. They expected no rewards or other reimbursements and their actions seemed to be motivated purely by humanitarian concerns. All this makes the rescue an outstanding act of heroism and unselfish devotion, almost without parallel in history. This act of heroism took place in what is now Walworth County.

My great great grandfather Fast Walker and 24 Hunkpati Dakota were also part of this story. My unkana and his brother Don’t Know How were the two last remaining who went to court in 1918 I have court papers to prove this. 605-245-2667
