Quanah Parker; Was the last Chief of the Comanche Nation and never lost a battle to the white man. His tribe roamed over the area where Pampas stands. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative. His was the last tribe in the Staked Plains to come into the reservation system.

Sitting Bull; "Because of your bravery on the battlefield, and your reputation as the bravest warrior in all our bands, we have elected you head chief of the entire Sioux nation, head war chief. It is your duty to see that the nation is fed, that we have plenty. When you say 'fight' we shall fight; when you say 'make peace' we shall make peace." - Four Horns

Crazy Horse; "My son has been against the people of unknown tongue. He has done a brave thing; for this I give him a new name, the name of his father, and of many fathers before him. I give him a great name. I call him Crazy Horse." - Crazy Horse's Father

Red Cloud; "Look at me. I was a warrior on this land where the sun rises, now I come from where the sun sets. Whose voice was first surrounded on this land - the red people with bows and arrows. The Great Father says he is good and kind to us. I can't see it..." - Red Cloud  

Black Elk; "My friend, I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish; and if it were only the story of my life I think I would not tell it; for what is one man that he should make much of his winters, even when they bend him like a heavy snow? So many other men have lived and shall live that story, to be grass upon the hills. - Black Elk

Tecumseh; Chief of the Shawnee, b. probably in Clark co., Ohio. Among his people he became distinguished for his prowess in battle, but he opposed the practice of torturing prisoners. When the United States refused to recognize his principle that all Native American land was the common possession of all the Native Americans and that land could not rightly be ceded by, or purchased from, an individual tribe, Tecumseh set out to bind together the Native Americans of the Old Northwest, the South, and the eastern Mississippi valley. His plan failed with the defeat of his brother, the Shawnee Prophet, at Tippecanoe (1811). Though Tippecanoe was, properly speaking, a drawn battle, it marked the collapse of the Native American military movement. In the War of 1812, Tecumseh allied himself with the British and was made a brigadier general. He led a large force of Native Americans in the siege of Fort Meigs, covered Gen. Henry Procter's retreat after the American victory on Lake Erie, and lost his life in the battle of the Thames, in which Gen. William Henry Harrison overwhelmed Procter and his Native American allies. Tecumseh had great ability as an organizer and a leader and is considered one of the outstanding Native Americans in American history.

Geronimo; Was the most legendary and feared of all the Apache warriors. He was known as a chief but he wasn't.  He was a very powerful medicine man and shaman that could foretell the future. He was a war leader for a small group of Apaches in Southeastern Arizona during the 1850's through 1880's. He was born with the name Goyahkla, which means "one who yawns."

Naiche; Was the youngest son of Cochise the Great Apache Chief.  

Victorio; Born into the Warm Springs Apache tribe in New Mexico, Victorio was one of the most ruthless and feared Indians in the Southwest.  He led a small band of warriors on raids into Northern Mexico, Eastern Arizona and Southwestern New Mexico. He was always a warm friend to Geronimo and Naiche.  All the Apache tribes admired him.

Gall; Was one of the greatest of the Hunkpapa Sioux chieftains, and some historians consider him to be the peer of the famous Red Cloud and of Spotted Tail. Gall was one of the leaders of the Hunk-papa Sioux during the time of the fabulous Sitting Bull.
