Chief Red Cloud was a prominent leader of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe in the 19th century. He is best known for his role in Red Cloud's War (1866-1868), where he successfully resisted U.S. expansion into Native American territories, particularly against the construction of forts along the Bozeman Trail. His leadership and strategic alliances were crucial in achieving significant victories for his people, ultimately leading to the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which recognized Lakota sovereignty over the Black Hills. Red Cloud remains a symbol of Native American resistance and advocacy for tribal rights.
