Satank (c.1810-71) was a chief of the Kiowas, along with Satanta.  His
Kiowa name Setangya, means Sitting Bear.  Though respected by his tribe,
his vengeful personality bred fear among his people.  In 1840, Satank was
instrumental in bringing about peace between the Kiowas and the Cheyennes,
which allowed the two tribes to combine forces against the whites.  In
1871, Satank, Satanta, and Cheyenne chief Big Tree raided a wagon train in
Young County, Texas, killing seven white travelers.  Satank was capture d,
but on his way to trial tried to escape and was shot to death.
