Pallbearers carry the remains of Albert Afraid of Hawk Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012, in Manderson, S.D. Afraid of Hawk, a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, died 112 years ago while performing with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. His remains had been buried in an unmarked grave in Danbury, Conn., until Robert Young pieced together the story and reached out to family members. Afraid of Hawk is now being buried in a traditional Lakota ceremony on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Family members took part in a wake service on Saturday for Afraid of Hawk, whose remains were wrapped in a buffalo hide.
