Chief Iron Tail of Oglala Lakota
Sinte Maza of the Oglala Lakota tribe later became Chief Iron Tail, the tribal leader of the Lakota. But he had no quarrels befriending a White Man which he proved by participating in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show in the 1800s. And according to Major Israel McCreight, a Native American cultural expert, Iron Tail was “Not a war chief… but a wise counselor and diplomat, always dignified, quiet and never given to boasting… He always had a smile and was fond of children, horses and friends.”
