Considering the expansiveness of the Crazy Horse Memorial it seems almost shocking that so little is known about the Lakota man, Henry Standing Bear, who was tied to the creation of this site within prominent scholarship about Native American history. It is equally striking that the other lesspublicized aspects of Standing Bear’s life have remained on the margins of historical research, in some ways obscured by the published writings and public persona of his betterknown older brother, Luther Standing Bear.

In the following biography I acknowledge, fi rst, that he was a complicated fi gure who poses a series of hardtounderstand questions regarding the Native activism rooted in the social and political geographies of the Great Plains, and second, that as a resistant intellectual, he was a distinctive fi gure in shaping the diff erent approaches to Native social and political activism that beWe want our equal rights of these treaties, and petition the Honorable Commissioner of Indian Aff airs and the Secretary of the Interior to make cash payments to our people in lieu of clothing and other articles. — Lakota petition from Pine Ridge, South Dakota, 18991

The Ilongots Palidat et al., a criminal case prosecuted by the US government against three indigenous men from the island of Luzon. The three men were found guilty of murdering William Jones, an American anthropologist working in the so-called headhunting country of the northernmost Philippines during the previous year. This chapter illuminates the identity of an indigenous intellectual as it intersected with imperial discourses, first in the United States and later in the Philippines. Through an examination of Jones's death, it considers how Gilded Age ideas of race and civilization functioned as a discourse to frame Jones in one way and his Ilongot assailants in another, ultimately producing the tragic misunderstanding between them.
