1. Red Cloud

   Red Cloud (Lakota: Maȟpíya Lúta) (born 1822 – December 10, 1909) was a leader of the Oglala Lakota from 1868 to 1909. He was one of the most capable Native American opponents whom the United States Army faced in the western territories. He defeated the United States during Red Cloud's War, which was a fight over control of the Powder River Country in northeastern Wyoming and southern Montana. The largest action of the war was the Fetterman Fight, with 81 US soldiers killed; it was the worst military defeat suffered by the US Army on the Great Plains until the Battle of the Little Bighorn 10 years later. After signing the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868), Red Cloud led his people in the transition to reservation life. Some of his opponents mistakenly thought of him as the overall leader of the Sioux groups (Dakota, Lakota, and Nakota), but the large tribe had several major divisions and was highly decentralized. Bands among the Oglala and other divisions operated independently, though some individual leaders were renowned as warriors and highly respected as leaders, such as Red Cloud.

1. red cloud

   A red cloud is a general term typically referring to two things: 1) A natural phenomenon: Clouds in the sky may appear red due to atmospheric effects, often observed during sunrise or sunset when sunlight takes a longer path through the atmosphere. This phenomenon is due to the scattering of light known as the Rayleigh Scattering. 2) Historical reference: Red Cloud was a prominent leader and war chief of the Oglala Lakota Sioux who fought against the encroachment of the U.S. government on Native American lands in the mid-late 1800s. He is recognized for his leadership in Red Cloud's War, a conflict named after him. He is also associated with the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868.
