Great Chief Blue Horse (Šúŋkawakȟáŋ Tȟó) (c. 1822-1908) was a respected Oglala Lakota leader, warrior, and statesman from the Wagluhe Band, famous for his role in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, his service as a U.S. Army Indian Scout, and his efforts to protect his people's land, even being known for saving white settlers, earning him fame in portraits and history alongside his brother, Red Cloud, in their fight for Lakota heritage.
