It is one of the Indian Boarding Schools founded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and is sometimes called "School of the Hills." It closed its doors as a school in 1933 and became a sanatorium for tuberculosis treatment for Sioux.
Her parents' marriage was an inspiration to Rosebud's ability to cross cultural bridges. Chauncey taught him and his sister Chauncina and Evelyn in the Lakota tradition. Occasionally, the elderly Indians will visit the Indian Schools page and tell the story in Lakota. Chauncey will have Rosebud listen, although he can not understand a word, and then he will retell the stories in English. Chauncey chose to send her daughter to the public school of Rapid City for their academic orientation, rather than the Indian School focusing on vocational courses in agriculture, blacksmith and domestic art. Rosebud enjoys the library and the Indian School program. Chauncey spent hours with her children telling stories told by her grandmother and grandfather.

In the late 1930s, Yellow Robe and Orson Welles worked at the CBS Broadcasting Center in New York as a celebrity broadcast on radio programs. Welles may have borrowed the name Yellow Robe for his classic movie script " Citizen Kane " (1941), where the title character of the dying word is "Rosebud."

"The famous film that changed the childhood of the sled became an American cultural icon, and there is much speculation about the source of the name.1991 Edward Castle, a reporter for The Las Vegas Sun, argues that it is the name of the Rosebud Yellow Robe that inspired Welles after finding daily logins for the CBS Radio Network, where Welles and Rosebud were doing dramatic events during the same period of time. "On CBS, every radio actor signed a daily log upon arrival and left the studio. Rosebud's signature appears in this log on the same page as Welles', and although they do not know each other, they must have seen each other in the studio.

Franz donated the late 19th century.Swedding sleighs were made from eight buffalo ribs to the American Indian National Museum in New York City, while the exact proof of the sled was unknown , it is believed to be Rosebud's sled boy sled, Chauncey Welles, who died in 1985, never revealing the source for the name `` Rosebud.` `Yellow Robe answered" the inevitable question, 'Are you named after the sled? ' with 'Why not, the sled is named after me.' "

Broken Arrow was nominated for three Academy Awards, and won the Golden Globe award for Best Film Promoting International Understanding. Film historians report that the film was one of the first Western Westerns since the Second World War to portray Indians sympathetically. Rosebud was interviewed by the newspaper during the tour and explained that there was no such thing as an Indian princess, and the myth began when Pocahontas went to England and the Englishman named him "Lady Rebecca." The Americans decided that he should be a nobleman, so they made him "princess". This is old English, not an old Indian custom.
