At age six, along with her younger sister Agnes, she was formally adopted by Protestant missionaries Stephen and Mary Riggs, who did their utmost to erase her Dakota identity and educate her as a 'proper' Christian woman. Despite their best efforts, Angelique remained close with her Dakota kin, especially her mother and siblings. After a frustrating year at a female seminary in Ohio, Angelique worked as a domestic servant for a family friend, ostensibly continuing her education. The outbreak of the U.S.-Dakota War in 1862 and Agnes's subsequent death in a U.S. Army prison camp changed everything. Returning to Minnesota, Angelique turned her back on the missionaries, entered a polygamous marriage with a Dakota man, and moved with her relatives to the Dakota Territory, where she increasingly distanced herself from the Riggs family. In 1869, she took legal action to emancipate herself from the guardianship of Stephen Riggs and to seek legal redress against unscrupulous loan sharks who had illegally sold her lands. It was an extraordinary act for an American Indian woman of the time, and she faced a steep uphill battle in court. Despite her untimely death of tuberculosis in 1876, Angelique Renville lived her final years on her own terms"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Angelique and the Renville family, 1800-1850s -- Adoption and schooling, 1851-1861 -- The Ohio Female College, Fall 1861-Spring 1862 -- The Drakes, war, and home to Minnesota, September 1863 -- Dakota Territory: marriage and Christianity, 1863-1876 -- Dakota Territory: land and guardianship, 1863-1976 -- Epilogue: Ties that bind -- Appendix: Selected letters and documents. 600 10 $a Renville, Angelique, $d 1845-1876. 600 10 $a Riggs, Stephen Return, $d 1812-1883. 600 10 $a Riggs, Mary Ann Clark Longley, $d 1813-1869. 610 20 $a American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions $x History $y 19th century. 600 17 $a Riggs, Mary Ann Clark Longley, $d 1813-1869. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00268108 600 17 $a Riggs, Stephen Return, $d 1812-1883. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00017866 610 27 $a American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00515262 650 0 $a Dakota Indians $v Biography. 650 0 $a Dakota Indians $x Missions $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a Dakota Indians $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Dakota Indians $x Wars, 1862-1865. 650 0 $a Dakota Indians $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z Dakota Territory. 650 7 $a Dakota Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887107 650 7 $a Dakota Indians $x Missions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887128 650 7 $a Dakota Indians $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887137 650 7 $a Frontier and pioneer life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935370 651 7 $a Minnesota. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204560 651 7 $a United States $z Dakota Territory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01228148 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OZAX845 $d 20240525042050.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE5AEAD41A5D11EFA2ECF50357ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOOInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
