Excerpt from Red Cloud Part A Charles A. Eastman
Every age, every race, has its leaders and heroes. There were over sixty distinct tribes of Indians on this continent, each of
which boasted its notable men. (1) The names and deeds of some of these men will live in American history, and in the true
sense they are unknown, because misunderstood. I should like to present some of the greatest chiefs of modern times in the
Light of the native character and ideals, believing that the American people will gladly do them tardy justice.
It is matter of history that the Sioux nation, to which I belong, was originally friendly to the Caucasian peoples which it met in
succession-first, to the south the Spaniards; then the French, on the Mississippi River and along the Great Lakes; later the
English, and finally the Americans. This powerful tribe then roamed over the whole extent of the Mississippi valley, between
that river and the Rockies. Their usages and government united the various bands more closely than was the case with many
of the neighboring, tribes.
During the early part of the nineteenth century, chiefs such as Wabashaw, Redwing, and Little Six among the eastern Sioux,
Conquering Bear, Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse, and Hump of the western bands, were the last of the old type. (3) After these, we
have a coterie of new leaders, products of the new conditions brought about by close contact with the conquering race.
