Rain-in-the-Face (1835-1905)
Chief Rain-in-the-Face, whose Hunkpapa name was Canku-Ota, built his reputation as a warrior while young. He participated in both the Fetterman Massacre and the Battle of the Little Big Horn. Reputedly he killed Tom Custer and cut out his heart on the battlefield — a story he vehemently denied.
