Wolf Robe, Cheyenne Indian Chief

Wolf Robe or Ho'néhevotoomáhe (circa 1838-41 - 1910) was a Southern Cheyenne chief. During the late 1870s he was forced to leave the open plains and relocate his tribe on to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian Reservation in Indian Territory. He was awarded the Benjamin Harrison Peace Medal in 1890 for his assistance in the Cherokee Commission. Photographs of Wolf Robe have been popular throughout the last century. Numerous painters and sculptors have, in turn, created artworks based upon these photographs. Although it is unlikely, some people believe his was the model for the Indian Head nickel. Photograph credited to National Photo Company circa 1908-10.
