Chief Wolf Robe
Wolf Robe was the Cheyenne tribe’s chief. In this photo taken in 1899, he is seen wearing the Benjamin Harrison Peace Medal that he earned in 1890 for being part of the Cherokee Commission. The Cherokee Commission consisted of three members who worked to buy land that was under the control of the Cherokee as well as other tribes in the Oklahoma area so it could be used by non-Native Americans. Besides looking after his people’s best interests, he was well known for staying nice and cool under pressure.
