Chief Black Kettle (Mo'ohtavetoo'o) (born ca. 1803, killed November 27, 1868) was a leader of the Southern Cheyenne after 1854. He was known as a peacemaker who accepted numerous treaties to protect his people. He survived the Sand Creek Massacre in 1864. He and his wife were among those killed in 1868 at the Battle of Washita River, in a US Army attack on their camp by George Armstrong Custer. They were shot in the back.
The Crow (ABSAROKE OR ABSALOOKE) were sedentary hunter/farmers until they separated from the Hidatsa in two groups about A.D. 1400 and 1600. Upon separation, they became nomadic hunter/gatherers of the northern Plains. In historic times, they ranged from the valley of the Yellowstone in southern Montana south as far as the Laramie fork of the Platte in Wyoming. They were constantly in conflict with most of their neighbors and severely outnumbered. Here is a timeline of important events in their history.
