Absolutely awesome story-if anyone would like to read about him I would recommend Blaine Pardoe's book The Cruise of the Sea Eagle this man raided Allied shipping during WWI using a three-masted schooner no less and if I recall correctly only caused 1 fatality to his enemies during that time,great read.

Give me a minute to come up with a new question .

Ok,back to Native American history for a minute.This warrior chieftain pulled together a confederacy of tribes that before his untimely death,could have greatly retarded westward expansion in the United States.The rough English translation of his name means "Panther passing across",a reference to the presence of a meteor crossing the night sky at the time of his birth.
