Little Crow was shot and killed on July 3, 1863, by two settlers, a father and son. They scalped him and took his body to Hutchinson, Minnesota, where it was displayed and mutilated. The State paid the father $500 for killing Little Crow, and paid the son $75 for his scalp. Later his remains were exhumed by Army troops. In 1868 the Minnesota Historical Society acquired the scalp for display, joined later by the skull and wrist bones. In 1971 the society returned the State's trophies to his grandson. He reunited his grandfathers remains and had them reinterred at the First Presbyterian Church and Cemetery (Flandreau, South Dakota). Little Crow's burial site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
