After the defeat of Custer, June, 1876, thousands of Lakota Sioux went to Canada to escape the American army. Their leaders included Sitting Bull, Four Horns and the two famous Lakota chiefs with the name "Black Moon". Most returned to American reservations within 5 years; but 250 stayed in Canada where their descendants live today. This is their story.

The Lost Band of Lakota Sioux
2 May 2008
By Robert Schumann
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book clears up the mystery of what happened to the Lakota Sioux who escaped to Canada with Sitting Bull, but never returned to the United States. This is the lost band of Lakota Sioux. Their exact number is calculated. In fact, the whole book is well documented with over 200 endnotes throughout the work. Also, new information about Wounded Knee and the two famous Lakota Chiefs named "Black Moon". The author has taken the time to go up to Canada and get to know the people he writes about. Well done!

Quote From Cheyenne River Lakota Nation
23 May 2008
By Dawn M. Gruenburg
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Here is a quote from a Lakota Sioux living at the Cheyenne River reservation in South Dakota:
"I have read "They Never Surrendered" by Ron Papandrea. His research on the Lakota who won the Battle of the Little Big Horn, and escaped the army by crossing the Medicine Line into Canada, is a valuable work for anyone interested in learning about my people. It covers a little known part of Lakota, American and Canadian history. As a person who is a descendant of these Lakota men and women, I consider this book an important record."
