The following address was delivered by Bishop Whipple, on Sun day, March 7, 1869, at the funeral of Taopi, a Christian Chief of the Farmer Band of Santee Sioux. Taopi was one of the first converts to Christianity, after the establishment of our Mission at Redwood on the Minnesota river. During all the fierce trials and strong temptations of the Indian outbreak and massacre of 1862, he re mained faithful to his religion and to his white brethren. The Indians had been greatly and evidently wronge...d ; but in his desire 49 to do right, he conquered the spirit of vengeance so natural to his people, and was chiefly instrumental in rescuing over 200 whites, mostly women and children, from captivity and death. For this noble service he was never suitably rewarded, and to the day of his death he was a wanderer without country or home, except such as the kindness of the good Bishop afforded him. He died in peace, thanking the friends who had cared for him, and commending his wife and two children to the charity of the Bishop who had be friended him, and to the Church that he had loved.
