137 Spotted Eagle

137 SPOTTED EAGLE, "Wa ma laga lisca," Sans Arc Sioux Chief Spotted Eagle was a fierce warrior, noted for his prowess and leadership. After the victory at Little Big Horn, he, together with Sitting Bull, sought sanctuary in Canada. But as the buffalo herds diminished, continued resistance seemed futile--the Sans Arcs under Spotted Eagle went south and surrendered to General Miles in 1880. Photograph by Laton A. Huffman, 1880
