Black Kettle, who was a very well respected chief, as Sitting Bull.  He was a Cheyenne leader, but at times would allow other Indian tribes to lodge and sleep with him and his people.  He was a leader at a very hard time during American History.  During the Sand Creek Massacre, he watched as 700 Colorado soldiers marched towards him and his sleeping, defenseless people.  He rose an American flag and a white sheet to signal peace, but the soldiers kept creeping closer.  Black Kettle and a few other indians escaped, but watched from a distance as all the rest of his people were slaughtered.

Four years later, though, Black Kettle was not as lucky to escape another slaughtering.  He was killed by General George Custer's regiment.  The Arapaho and a few other tribes came to help, but General Custer had already pulled out his troops.
