Chief Red Cloud was the chief of the Oglala Sioux Indian tribe. He was one of the fiercest enemies the U.S. Army ever fought. He led the successful campaign known as Red Cloud’s war between 1866 and 1868. Red Cloud fought the army for control of parts of Montana and Wyoming. Red Cloud’s judgment was, why should I allow any man to support me against my will anywhere, so long as I am a great warrior living on my own land. Red Cloud continued to fight for the freedom of his people. He died on December 10, 1909. Red Cloud is a one-of-a-kind piece.
