Chief Touch the Clouds (c. 1838-1905) of the Miniconjou tribe of the Lakota Sioux people. Fun facts: His brothers were Spotted Elk, Frog, and Roman Nose. There is evidence suggesting that Crazy Horse was a cousin. Photo taken by James H. Hamilton at the Spotted Tail Agency, Nebraska, in the fall of 1877.
