Biography

Swift was Sioux.

We are seeking a more specific designation than "Sioux" which is the only designation we have so far from the census rolls.

This profile appears to represent the grandfather of Mollie Cica Landreaux based on the statement in Mollie's obituary that says she was raised by "her grandparents Swift Cloud and his wife." No other information is found for this couple, who apparently had died before the first Lakota censuses were taken in the 1880's.

Research Notes

A previous version of this profile claimed she was spouse of Brave Hawk and mother of Hinlutawe.

Note that there is nothing on the census rolls (see below) that identifies her husband or children and the census records below refer to a different person, a woman.

Indian census rolls 1894 (Cheyenne River, Sioux Nation):[1]

  • Black Bird Woman, widow, 43
  • Swift Cloud, sister, 57 [of Black Bird Woman]
  • Yellow Hair, daughter, 8
  • Red Sting, daughter, 10
  • Joseph Narcelle, son, 1

Indian census rolls 1910 (Cheyenne River, Sioux Nation):[2]

  • Black Bird Woman, 59
  • Swift Cloud, 73 "mother" [of Black Bird Woman]
  • Joseph Narcelle, 17 "son"

This person is not connected to Mollie Laundreaux, she had a grandFATHER named Swift Cloud, so this is the wrong person.

I detached Mollie from Hinlutawe, so the line is broken.
