They lived at Devil's Lake in Dakota territory. On June 10, 1863, they left to make a raid into Minnesota to get horses for their family. On July 3, 1863, Little Crow and his son were in the "Big Woods" picking strawberries. A settler named Nathan Lamson saw them and shot and killed Little Crow. His son Wawinape escaped and fled back to Devil's Lake. He was later captured, tried and sentenced to hang. He was sent to a prison camp in Davenport, Iowa.[3][4] There he converted to Christianity and took the name Thomas Wakeman.[1][3] He was pardoned in 1865 and settled in Dakota Territory.[3] Wakeman married Judith Minnetonka in January 1874.[3] They had four sons and two daughters: Solomon, Ruth, John, Jesse, Ida, and Alex.[4] CareerOn April 27, 1879 Thomas Wakeman and his friends started the Koskadan Okodakiciye, a Young Man's Association, at Flandreau, Dakota Territory.[2][3] In 1885, it was recognized by the national YMCA and its name was changed to Sioux Young Men's Christian Association.[2] DeathWakeman contracted tuberculosis and died at Redwood Falls, Minnesota on January 13, 1886.[3] His son Jesse succeeded his father at the YMCA.[4] Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite book |last= |first= |authorlink= |coauthors= |editor= |others= |title=YMCA in America (1851–2001), A History of Accomplishment Over 150 Years |accessdate=2008-03-24 |year=2000 |publisher=YMCA of the USA |pages=6 }} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |url=http://www.siouxymca.org/history.htm |title=Cheyenne River Reservation Sioux YMCA |accessdate=2008-03-24 |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20080128033154/http://www.siouxymca.org/history.htm |archivedate = 2008-01-28}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/32739206 |title=Thomas Wowinape Wakeman |author=Cindy K.
