American Horse, Oglala Lakota Indian Chief

Chief American Horse by John A. Anderson, 1900. American Horse (1840 - December 16, 1908) was an Oglala Lakota chief, statesman, educator, historian, and notable in American history as an Army Indian Scout and a progressive Oglala Lakota leader who promoted friendly associations with whites and education for his people. He opposed Crazy Horse during the Great Sioux War of 1876-77 and the Ghost Dance Movement of 1890, and was a Lakota delegate to Washington. During a time when the Bureau of Indian Affairs was intent on promoting Native assimilation, Buffalo Bill Cody used his influence with government officials to secure Native American performers for his Wild West. In 1886, American Horse replaced Sitting Bull as the Indian headliner for the 1886-87 seasons. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, was the model Indian boarding school in the US from 1879 to 1918. American Horse was one of the earliest advocates of education for the Indian, and his son Samuel and nephew Robert were among the first students at Carlisle. American Horse was one of six Native American chiefs who marched in the first Inaugural Parade of Theodore Roosevelt in 1905. American Horse died from natural causes in 1908.
