Chief Hollow Horn Bear. (Sioux) Chief Hollow Horn Bear was the son of Chief Iron Shell. Hollow Horn Bear was a leader among the Plains Indians and fought valiantly in the subjugation of the insurgents during the 1870s. He gained fame as the Chief who defeated Lieutenant William Fetterman. Chief Hollow Horn Bear was quite a linguist and orator - because of his abilities with languages he was invited to attend the inauguration of Teddy Roosevelt's in 1905. In 1913, he led a group of Indians in Woodrow Wilson's inaugural parade and during this visit to Washington, D.C, he caught pneumonia and died. This is a fascinating person from our history. you can read more about him, if you'd like to do so at : http://www.snowwowl.com/nativeleaders/hollowhornbear.html
There are also some fantastic photos of him online.



Red Cloud (Makhpiya-luta, `scarlet Cloud). A principal chief of the Oglala Teton Sioux of Pine Ridge reservation, the largest band of the Sioux nation, and probably the most famous and powerful chief in the history of the tribe
























Chief American Horse, one of the wisest of the Oglala Chiefs. More to come on this one.




Chief Running Antelope. He appears on the 1899 $5.00 Silver Certificate. There was a ruckus as he is wearing a Pawnee head dress ---the original headwear, that of the Sioux, his tribe, was too tall for the engraving. He was an advisor to Sitting Bull.
