Trembling Earth
Chief Trembling Earth (Dakota name Monkaushka, d. 1837) was Yankton Dakota chief. He and Wanata led in many encounters with the Iowa and Ojibwa tribes.[1] He also acted as a delegate to Washington, D.C.. On Oct 21, 1837, he and other native leaders signed a treaty selling land to government of the United States. [2] Trembling Earth became ill during his trip, and tried to return to his home, but died en route in Baltimore.[3]
