Cheyenne Indians

Roman Nose a.k.a. Hook Nose (Woqini) (c.1835-1868), was a Native American of the Northern Cheyenne, and possibly the greatest and most influential warrior during the Plains Indian War of the 1860s. Considered invincible in combat, this fierce warrior distinguished himself in battle to such a high degree that the U.S. military mistook him for the Chief of the entire Cheyenne nation.

Touch the Clouds, after the Battle of the Little Bighorn, took his band north, eventually surrendering at the Spotted Tail Agency, where he enlisted in the Indian Scouts. However, not long after witnessing the death of Crazy Horse, Touch the Clouds transferred with his band back to the Cheyenne River Agency.
