<p style="text-align: justify;">I  looked through the pages of “People of the Sacred Mountain” by Father Peter  Powell. He listed the Northern Cheyenne Chiefs in 1876 and who of them was at  the Little Bighorn in detail.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  traditional 44 Cheyenne Chiefs were chosen in a ceremony after a Sun Dance in  1874. This “Renewing of the Chiefs” took place normally every ten years. For the  first time the Northern Cheyenne elected their own Council of Chiefs independent  of the Southern branch of the tribe. The following Cheyennes were chosen in  1874:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Old  Man Chiefs:<br />
Little Wolf, Northern<em> Suhtai</em> and Sweet Medicine  Chief<br />
Morning Star (a/k/a Dull Knife), Head Chief of the <em>Omisis</em><br />
Old  Bear, <em>Omisis</em><br />
Black Moccasin (a/k/a Limber Lance)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Council of the Forty-Four:<br />
Box  Elder, Head Chief of Northern <em>Suhtai</em><br />
American Horse, Northern  <em>Suhtai</em><br />
Black Wolf, Northern <em>Suhtai</em><br />
Black Eagle, Head  Chief of Northern Scabby<br />
Little Chief, Little Chief&#8217;s band of  Lakota/Cheyenne<br />
&amp;<br />
Turkey Leg, (Young) Spotted Wolf, Old Wolf, Black  Moccasin (a/k/a Iron), Bald Bear, White Dirt (a/k/a Powder), White Head (a/k/a  Gray Head), Old Crow, Strong Wolf (a/k/a Big Wolf), Plum Man, Magpie Eagle,  Crazy Head, Black Crane, Medicine Bear, Medicine Wolf, Twin, Standing Elk,  Spotted Elk, Living Bear, Black Bear, Cut Foot, Broken Dish (a/k/a Calfskin  Shirt) and some others.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  great majority of these Chiefs were at the Little Bighorn in 1876.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Only  Morning Star/Dull Knife, Turkey Leg, Spotted Elk, Standing Elk, Living Bear, and  Black Bear remained at the agency that year. Little Wolf arrived shortly after  the battle and was harangued badly by the Lakotas.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In  addition to the Chiefs all of the thirty headmen of the Northern Cheyenne  warrior societies were probably present at the Little Bighorn, with the  exception of Little Wolf, head chief of the Elkhorn Scrapers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Elkhorn Scraper</em>:<br />
Lame  White Man<br />
Wild Hog<br />
Broken Jaw<br />
Crow-Split-Nose<br />
Tall White  Man<br />
White Hawk<br />
Left-Handed-Shooter<br />
Goes-After-Other-Buffalo<br />
Plenty  Bears<br />
Wolf Medicine</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Kit Foxes:</em><br />
Last  Bull<br />
Two Moon<br />
Bear-Who-Walks-On-A-Ridge<br />
Wrapped  Hair<br />
Plenty-of-Buffalo-Bull-Meat<br />
Little  Horse<br />
Sits-Beside-His-Medicine<br />
Mosquito<br />
Rattlesnake Nose<br />
Weasel  Bear</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Crazy Dogs:</em><br />
Old Man  Coyote<br />
Strong Left Hand<br />
Little Creek<br />
Snow Bird (a/k/a White  Bird)<br />
Crazy Mule<br />
Iron Shirt<br />
Black Knife<br />
Beaver Claws<br />
Red  Owl<br />
Crow Necklace</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The  most important holy men in the Little Bighorn village were Coal Bear (Keeper of the Sacred  Hat), Box Elder, and White Bull (Ice).</p>
