According to White Bull the Santee who took Custer's 
                          horse just after the battle at the Little Bighorn was 
                          Noisy Walking (aka Noisy Walker aka Sound the Ground 
                          as He Walks). He was the son of the Wahpekute chief 
                          Inkpaduta, the leader of the Santee and Yanktonais camp 
                          at the LBH. Maybe Grey Tracks was another name of him.
                         His twin brother Tracking White Earth was wounded 
                          at the battle and later died of his wounds in Canada.
                          Charles Eastman, who was related to Inkpaduta, said 
                          that “for twenty years the Western Sioux claimed that 
                          one of his sons killed Custer. It is possible, but there 
                          is no proof. (…) it is true that the warriors of the 
                          western Sioux had the greatest regard for the bravery 
                          of Inkpaduta´s sons in battle.”
                         Inkpaduta and his band were much hated by the Americans, 
                          no wonder his descendants hid their identity and knowledge 
                          about the Custer fight in fear of retaliation. 
                       
                       
                     
                      After 
                        the Little Bighorn Battle Inkpaduta (or Red Top) and his 
                        band fled to Canada with Sitting bull.
                        There Inkpaduta died in 1881. —

                      There 
                        were several descendants living in Canada, even in 1934 
                        there were two of his sons, Little Spirit (Wanagi Ciquana) 
                        and Charley Maku and also a daughter living near Pipestone 
                        Reservation in Manitoba. 
                      The 
                        best sources I have about Inkpaduta and his sons are Doane 
                        Robinson´s “History of the Dakota or Sioux Indians” 
                        (Ross & Haines, Minneapolis 1967) although he presented 
                        Inkpaduta like a kind of villain, and Maxwell Van Nuys´ 
                        “Inkpaduta – The Scarlet Point” (1998) who gave a more 
                        balanced view of the Santee chief. —

                      Inkpaduta 
                        had many children, including two sets of twin sons. One 
                        set of twins Gray Earth Track (AKA Sounds the Ground When 
                        He Walks, and Noisy Walking) and White Earth Tracking 
                        chased the trooper who fled from LBH. White Earth Tracking 
                        was mortally wounded by the trooper. Gray Earth Track 
                        shot the trooper to death and took his horse. He later 
                        claimed the man he had killed (some miles from the battlefield) 
                        was Custer and the powerful sorrel horse he captured was 
                        Vic. Of course the Indians did not know it was Custer 
                        until later, so the claim came much later. This son of 
                        Inkpaduta kept and rode the white faced, white stockinged 
                        horse for another twenty years. Of course, it was not 
                        Vic. — Walt Cross
                      
                     
                     
                      I 
                        heard that Gray Tracks/Sounds the ground when he walks/Noisy 
                        Walking died in Canada in 1878 or around that date, his 
                        brother kept the horse. The descendants were enrolled 
                        at Standing Rock and Cheyenne River. 
                     
                     
                      Inkpaduta's 
                        daughter married a Bull Ghost and End Of Horn here on 
                        Standing Rock. Two sons were enrolled at Cheyenne River, 
                        one son enrolled at Spirit Lake and one enrolled at Sisseton.
                     
                     
                      One 
                        of Inkpaduta 's wife and two children was with the group 
                        of Ihuntonwan at Whitestone, when the massacre happened. 
                        The son was called Little Ghost. 
                     
                     
                      Inkpaduta 
                        is considered a hero to many native people, We honored 
                        him by keeping his family safe. Today we can talk about 
                        his relatives and who they are but even 50 years ago no 
                        one would speak his name in fear of the government. Today 
                        we have young people named after him to celebrate their 
                        victory in war.

                    Here 
                      is the photo and some text from the book of Mark Diedrich:
                    
                    
                      INKPADUTA, 
                        date and photographer unknown. This photo, published here 
                        for the first time, was only recently discovered, and 
                        is purportedly of Inkpaduta, the notorious Wahpekute Dakota 
                        chief. No known photograph of him was thought to exist. 
                        Yet, this slightly out of focus portrait portrays an Indian 
                        who fits Inkpaduta´s general facial description 
                        -- long, slim face, with high cheekbones, sunken sully 
                        eyes, and a large mouth with unusually big canine teeth. 
                        If it indeed is Inkpaduta, it probably was taken before 
                        the 1857 Spirit Lake massacre, and it was apparently turned 
                        up by Frank Heriott, an authority on the Inkpaduta troubles 
                        in Iowa. (from Mark Diedrich: "Famous Chiefs of the 
                        Eastern Sioux" Coyote Books 1987)
                    
                    
Well, 
                        if it is Inkpaduta at all, I don't think the photograph 
                        could have been made before 1857. I haven't seen many 
                        photos taken "in the field", when photo techniques 
                        hadn't developed so far. —
