Satanta (c.1820-78), also known as Settainte, was a Kiowa chief.  His name
means White Bear, and he was admired and respected by his tribe.  In 1867,
Satanta signed the Medicine Lodge Treaty, agreeing to keep the Kiowas
within a reservation.  Satanta eventually stopped cooperating with the
whites, however, and in 1871 was charged with raiding a wagon train and
killing several men.  He was initially sentenced to be hanged, but the
sentence was changed to life imprisonment.  Eventually, Satanta was
released on parole, but was arrested again in 1874 on a similar charge and
sent to the Huntsville, Texas prison.  He committed suicide in 1878.
