Pine Ridge Agency, Dakota Territory - February 8, 1879

At twelve o'clock noon of this date the cornerstone of the School House at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation was laid, and the following named Sioux Chiefs were present: Red Cloud, Red Dog, American Horse, Little Wound, Lone Bear, Slow Bull, and Old Man Afraid of His Horses. The Oglala Sioux, under Red Cloud, are in a peaceable and well disposed condition, and the sentiment of the tribe is, and has been, that they particularly want their children, "educated in the English Language. Education, intelligence, and virtue when acquired make every people strong."
