As of 1889, it is possible to place Rocky Boy in Minnesota, as a signatory (as Ah sin e we ne nee, or Stone Man, age 32) of an agreement at the Red Lake Reservation. The age and name suggest a match, but it is unclear if he had been in Montana and returned to Minnesota, or if his initial trip to Montana followed this event.
