Chief Red Cloud went to Washington DC on numerous occasions in the 1870's.In 1871, Red Cloud was informed that he would be a welcome visitor to the "Great Father's house in Washington." Red Cloud, for two reasons, decided to accept the invitation. First, he welcomed the opportunity to tell the president himself that his people did not want reservation life, but rather wanted to freely live on their traditional lands in the traditional manner. Secondly, he had heard of the Indian Commissioner, Ely S. Parker (the Iroquois Donehogawa) and wanted to see for himself if this was truly an Indian man who could not only speak the white man's language, but read and write it as well.In 1878 he and his people moved to Pine Ridge Agency, whence he made several trips to Washington, D.C., to publicize his views.

George Washington never ran for president. Americans loved him so after he won the Revolution, they just MADE him president. The electors went to wherever electors went back then and voted, unanimously, for Washington for president. But thinking about it...if Washington would have had to run for president, he would have represented Virginia since that's where he lived.
