Spotted Tail's Folk, A History of the Brule Sioux. Spotted Tail was a Brule chief who understood their old way of life was doomed and that war with the white man was suicide. He used his skills negotiating with Washington D.C. to delay the impact on the Sioux and insist on rights for his people. His attempt was to prevent the Sioux from becoming "white men" overnight. He was assasinated by Crow Dog in 1881, ending the history of the Brule as a tribe. 329/Hardbound/Jacketed/Photographs.Collection
