Yellow Wolf (Cheyenne)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Yellow Wolf or Ho'néoxheóvaestse was a Cheyenne Chief who led the Rope Hair group of the Southern Cheyenne.[1] He lived to be 85 years old, and died in the Sand Creek Massacre at Sand Creek, Colorado, along with his brother.[2][3] The massacre took place when two militia units, the 1st and 3rd Colorado Regiments, attacked the tribe when they were camping.[4] More than 150 died in the attack; women and children and the elderly were not spared.[4]
Yellow Wolf was held up by George Grinnell, in 1915, as a leader who worked for peace.[2] He said that he was a "constant worker" on behalf of peace. He said it was patriotic work, done out of love for the tribe and its future that he worked in this direction.[2]
Yellow Wolf had a son, Red Moon, who lived through the battle and went on to become another prominent chief.[3]
