I would be very grateful if anyone could provide some information about Left Hand, Northern Arapaho. Have not found any details of his life so far.
If you have, please let me know.

There's a bit about him in Tim McCoy Remembers the West, including photos of his drawing of Little Bighorn

Thank you for the info, Sven. There were several Arapahos called Left Hand we need to distinguish. Actually two men of that name were important Southern Arapaho chiefs. The older, brother of Neva, died at Sand Creek. He is the one mentioned in the new book.
The man John and Grahame speak of is the Northern Arapahoe Left Hand. He was present at the battle at Little Bighorn in 1876.
Best wishes
Dietmar
