"Si\u014Bt\u00E9 Gle\u0161k\u00E1 (pronounced gleh-shka, Spotted Tail; born ca. 1823 \u2013 died August 5, 1881) was a Brul\u00E9 Lakota tribal chief. Although a great warrior in his youth, and having taken part in the Grattan massacre, he declined to participate in Red Cloud's War. He had become convinced of the futility of opposing the white incursions into his homeland; he became a statesman, speaking for peace and defending the rights of his tribe. He made several trips to Washington, D.C."@en . "Brule Sioux chief, Native American leader" . "Si\u014Bt\u00E9 Gle\u0161k\u00E1, Jumping Buffalo"@en . "1881Z"^^ . . . "Spotted Tail"@en .
