Tall Prairie Chicken Creek is a tributary of the Missouri River, located in Dewey County, South Dakota, United States, in the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation.[1]
Tall Prairie Chicken Creek has the name of Tall Prairie Chicken, a member of the Sioux tribe.[2] The name possibly refers to a Miniconjou man named Xiyo-hanska (Tall Prairie Chicken), who was a signatory of the Agreement of 1877, which ceded Sioux territory to the U.S. government after the Great Sioux War of 1876.[3]
