Reflections for Lieutenant Henry Bullhead

For a minimum of two decades the North Dakota State Heritage Center displayed a small silver badge stating “US INDIAN POLICE” with “US” on top, followed by “INDIAN”, with a bow and arrow (bow facing upward) and crossed arrows through the bow under the word. Finally, “POLICE” under the laid down bow. The Heritage center listed the displayed badge as the actual badge Lieutenant Bullhead wore at the arrest of Chief Sitting Bull. What a beautiful artifact it is! To me it is the crown jewel of the CENTER. I am not sure if it is still on display, but nevertheless, it was striking to see the badge every time I viewed it. I do have a highly detailed replica of the badge, but the real on has a definite almost spiritual presence to it.

Thinking about your service and wondering how you performed as one of the early Police Officer's and LT. A year ago I retired as a Police Officer and I'm proud to be a descendent. So many years have passed and I will never forget you.

I stop by this website often after the death of two dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003). Unfortunately, I had to add the name of another friend recently. Deputy Jeffery Hewitt, Buncombe County (NC) Sheriff’s Department, E.O.W. April 4, 2004.

I want to honor all of those who gave their life in the line of duty. Although your death was many many years ago, you are still a hero.

God Bless the men and women who continue to serve their communities in our great Nation.

...Gone, but never Forgotten....
