History

Satanta, also called White Bear and known as Set-Tainte, was one of the most illustrious and colorful Indian leaders of the southwest region, a signer of the Medicine Lodge treaties that benefit the Nation's Indian tribes today, and was given the title "Orator of the Plains" by the press because of his rhetoric and keen sense of speech. He was described as courageous and brave as a warrior, the most outspoken and daring of the war chiefs, captain of the Kiowa Tia-Peah Warrior Society, and as possessing the character of a true leader. His children were Tsa'l-Au-Te (Gray Goose), Odle-Paw (Buffalo Bird), Auchiah (Looks-In-A-Ute-Lodge), Ay Keen (Dash-At-The-Enemy), Sah-Tope-Ay-Doh (Pipe-Holder), Ah-Toh-Nah (Charging the Enemy), Sah-Geh-Ah-Hodle (Skirmish on the East Side), and Pai-Ah-Tay (Same Land Mark).
