Edward Lone Fight (born 1940) served as Chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes in the 1980s. In 1988 Lone Fight met with President Ronald Reagan, a meeting which was the catalyst for the tribes receiving compensation from the flooding of reservation due to the construction of the Garrison Dam under the Pick-Sloan Legislation. The son of Mabel Good Bird and Theodore Lone Fight, Edward is also a direct descendant of Waheenie Wea (Buffalo Bird Woman) Sheheke, Chief Four Bears and other notable American Indians. "Lone Fight" is a broad family name related exclusively to the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota.
