Gall was a Hunkpapa Sioux chief who played a leading part in the Lakota's long war against the United States, but Gall encouraged his people to accept assimilation once they were confined on reservations.

Gall was said to have gained his unusual name when, as a famished orphan, he ate the gall of an animal killed by a neighbor.

He rose to prominence among the Lakota as a warrior in Red Cloud's campaigns, but he was unhappy with the 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty that brought an end to those hostilities and allied himself with Sitting Bull and others who refused to remain within the territory set aside for them.

Gall eventually became Sitting Bull's military chief, and led attacks on army troops along the Yellowstone River in 1872 and 1873. At the battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, he led the Hunkpapa warriors who first drove Major Marcus Reno from the Lakota's encampment and then swept north to join Crazy Horse and his forces in the attack on Custer.

Following the Custer fight, Gall fled with Sitting Bull into Canada, but a quarrel between them caused Gall to bring his band back across the border late in 1880. He finally surrendered on January 3, 1881, and was settled on Standing Rock reservation in Dakota Territory, where he became friends with the man who would prove himself Sitting Bull's most determined antagonist, Indian Agent James McLaughlin.
