Waneta
Wa-na-ta ( Dakota: Wánataŋ which translates as ''One who charges'', or ''Charger'') or Waneta was a chief of the Yanktonai, a tribe of the Dakota. Chief Wa-na-ta, also known as Wanata and Wanataan I, was born around 1795. The Yanktonai were located near the St. Peter River, which is today known as the Minnesota River, in present day Minnesota. The Yanktonai were said to have a population between five and six thousand individuals with 1,300 warriors. Wanata was a very influential chief, as evidenced by his ability to lead his tribes' 1,300 warriors into battle. Waneta was born about 1795 in what is now Brown County, South Dakota. At age 18, Wanata was accustomed to the ways of war and fought under his father Wakinyanduta (''Red Thunder'') (Sisseton leader who eventually split off from that band to form the Cuthead band of the Yanktonai) siding with the British against the Americans in the War of 1812. He fought at the siege of Fort Meigs in 1813. Wanata was recrui ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Boundary–Waneta Border Crossing
The Boundary–Waneta Border Crossing connects the town of Northport, Washington with Trail, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. Access is via Waneta Road (formerly Washington State Route 251) on the American side and British Columbia Highway 22A on the Canadian side. Boat and train inspection A customs office has operated at or near this crossing since 1865, initially by the Colony of British Columbia to inspect vessels arriving via the Columbia River, and after 1871 by the federal government, additionally to inspect trains with the completion of the Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway (N&FS) in 1893. Fort Sheppard The N&FS had misspelled Fort Shepherd (at this BC location, but on the opposite bank of the Columbia). In 1892, a hotel and restaurant were built, and the surveyed townsite advertised as Kootenay City. After correcting survey errors that placed some lots south of the border, the development was relaunched as Fort Sheppard in 1893. The separate towns of Wanet ...
