Before moving to Mission, SD where his parents worked at Bishop Hare Home he lived in Porcupine where he went to school. In Mission, SD he met many boys and young men who attended Bishop Hare Home from all over the United States. Although he didn't attend Hare Home as a student he did everything that the boys did, which included going to Washington, DC. This is where he got his urge to travel to many different places and enjoyed seeing all the many different places. He would always come home with stories of his adventures and his family enjoyed hearing of all his travels. After graduating high school at Little Wound School, he moved to Seattle, Washington where he lived for a couple of years and upon returning he worked at the Porcupine Day School.

In 2000, Daniel flew from the lower 48 to Anchorage, Alaska to see his son Isaac Eugene Iron Cloud being born at the Alaska Native Medical Center on September 10, 2000. Prior to that he fished and camped in the surrounding Matanuska-Susitna area until he moved to the village of Togiag, Alaska near the Bristol Bay area where his son turned 1 year old. Daniel Jr. loved the outdoors and fishing. During his stay in Alaska, he worked as a jail guard for the Yupiik-speaking Eskimo people. Also, during his stay in Alaska, he contracted the debilitating disease - tuberculosis, which would eventually cause complications and subsequently his death. As usual he was traveling at the time of his death and passed away in Sioux Falls, SD on February 9, 2007. He will be missed by his family especially his two sisters and son.
