More About this Item
Description
"American Horse, married to a daughter of the war chief Red Cloud, was a chief of the Bad Face (Ite Sica) band of Oglala, later called the Loafer (Wagluhe) band. He was also elevated to the position of an Ongloge Un or Shirt Wearer, one of the four leading chiefs of the Oglala. The deerskin garment which signaled this honor, trimmed with beaded bands and locks of human hair, is displayed atop the posing stand at left... American Horse died Dec. 16, 1908, at the age of 68." American Horse (1840-1908) was a rising young leader among the Loafer Band of Oglala at the Red Cloud Agency during 1876 and was not with the northern or "hostile" Oglala. In fact, it was his cooperation with the U.S. Army in disarming the hostiles as they came in to Red Cloud that earned him government support. The Loafers at Red Cloud were originally under the leadership of Blue Horse (brother of Big Mouth shot by Spotted Tail at the Whetstone Agency). With the rise of American Horse's prominence among the Loafers during the Sioux War of 1876-77, as well as the rise of another Oglala named Three Bears, Blue Horse's leadership was largely eclipsed. By the time the Oglala moved to the Pine Ridge Agency in 1878, the Loafer's split into three separate bands, including one under American Horse.
