The last in a series of violent conflicts between Dakota and Ojibwe people took place on the banks of the Minnesota River north of the village of the Dakota leader Shakpedan (Little Six) on May 27, 1858.
Among the trophies of the Dakota was the body of Noon Day, the leader of the Ojibwe warriors. Dakota chief Wau-ma-nuag cut out Noon Day's heart and drank the blood from it, scalped and decapitated the corpse, and carried it on a pole back to Shakopee.
Shakopee III. [edit] Chief Shakopee III in 1864. Shakopee III (1811 – 11 November 1865) was a Mdewakanton Dakota chief who was involved at the start of the Dakota War of 1862. Born Eatoka, which means "Another Language," he became known as Shakpedan or Little Six after the death of his father in 1860.
After the war, Sakpe fled to Canada, but in January 1864, he was captured by British agents, turned over to U.S. authorities and imprisoned at Fort Snelling. In August, a military tribunal convicted him of killing civilians and sentenced him to death.
Several hundred more were captured and held by the Dakota until the war ended in late September. The killings triggered an avalanche of bad press for the Indians. Most newspapers demanded all Dakota be executed or removed from the state.
