Born in 1842 in Hevhaitanio (Hair Rope Men) band of Southern Cheyenne. Indian's name: NAHKOHESO In 1864 he was present and survived at Sand Creek. His story of the battle is a unique firsthand account of the massacre and penned in 1906 by George Bent. "...when i got to the bank of the creek I seen Big Head, Crow Neck, Cut Lip Bear and Smoker standing behind the bank so I joined them...We were west end of the village...Big head and his party ran west. I turned and went north as I seen big crowd (of Cheyenne) going that way. About 20 soldiers followed me. Big Head and his party were all killed over the hill..." He was member of a delegation in 1875 at the Annual Gran Council at Okmulgee (Oklahoma). He also went with a delegation at Washington in 1891. He had several wives. He died in 20 January 1917. There are many photos of him. I hope that Dietmar will post them!

I have read that Ste Si Tanka (Oglala) was very closed to chief High Wolf. This last belonged to the Oyuhpe band. May be that also Ste Si Tanka belonged too that band?

If the original list send by Sandra Lowry is correct, i think that in the famous image are present ONLY 3 Arapaho (The Tempest-Eagle Head-Friday) and 3 Cheyenne (White Fawn/Antelope-Red Skin/Little Chief-Mounts the Clouds). To me Mrs. Lowry list is in a casual order, without to quote the exact position of everybody. The photographer had arranged them in this alternate order, from left to right: 1-FRIDAY (Arapaho) 2-RED SKIN/LITTLE CHIEF (Cheyenne) 3-EAGLE HEAD (Arapaho) 4-WHITE FAWN/ANTELOPE (Cheyenne) 5-THE TEMPEST/STORM (Arapaho) 6-MOUNTS/ALIGHTS THE CLOUDS (Cheyenne). NO SIOUX or other tribes men are in the photo. My suggestion have still more sense if we think that Cheyenne and Arapaho are always stayed allied. Then, of Friday, Red Skin, White Antelope and Mounts the Clouds we are certain for comparison with other them images. Considering that The Tempest was the more important Arapaho in that delegation (he deliver a speech in the occasion and the alone photo posted by Dietmar proved his importance), only remain Eagle Head, the third from left and the shorter and minute of all.

This thread is so interesting! Yes, he is the man sitting second from right. But who is he? Chief Storm (or Tempest) of the Arapaho or chief One Horn of the Sioux? He must be an important chief because he has been photographed alone and in group.

Tanks to everyone. I have found his indian name: ISTO KSA from the words: Isto(arm)and Ksa(break,broken). One correction on my preceding post: the Spotted Tail band was Wazhazha not Choka-Tunwan. This last may be the band of chief Two Strike, but I'm not sure.

Guten Tag Dietmar. What is your opinion? Is Broken Arm Brulè or Oglala? In this moment, we found he in the Brulè section... The expert Kingsleybray is disappear? And who is the photographer of the first coloured image of this thread? Rinehart?

If the info post by Jinlian at the beginning of the thread is right, Broken Arm belonged to the Ring band (Choka-Tunwan) of the Upper Brulè (Keyatawicasa) the same band of Two Strike and Spotted Tail, I don't know if by birth or by marriage. Still two questions: Broken Arm was present at LBH? When he died?

Kingsley: very good to have some info about this mystery chief.But in your precedent article on Brulè bands you have mentioned only these bands: Isanyati (Toward the Santee) Choka-tunwan (Middle Village) Wacheunpa (Meat Roaster) Minisha (Red Water) Wazhazha (Osage) Wagmeza-yuha (Corn owner) Wablenicha (Orphan) Loafer. I think that the Kiyaksa (or Kiyuksa) belonged to Oglala subdivision, not Brulè. Then, chief Broken Arm was Oglala or Brulè? A great idea: why you don't write an extended article about the seven Teton subdivisions, the relative bands and the most important chiefs that belonged at every bands? It should be a wonderful gift for the Forum! p.s. I have buy your book on Crazy Horse, now translated in Italian language.

About BIG EAGLE: he was born in 1827 (not in 1839) near the present day Eagan (Minnesota). I think that he belonged, such as his father Grey Iron, to the Ohanhanska (Big Alley) band, the same of chief Black Dog.

I always have seen the chief seated near Little Crow named MEDICINE BOTTLE. He also was named by his people WAKAN O ZHAN (Sacred Light). He belonged to the Kaposia (Light Weights) band of the Mdewakanton subdivision. He died hanged in 11 November 1865 at Pine Knob, near Fort Snelling, together the chief Shakopee (Little Six). Can anyone added other info about the chiefs CUT NOSE, THE SINGER, RED LEAF and ONE WHO FORBIDS HIS HOUSE ?
