Crow Dog

    0.04 sec.
Crow Dog (b. Kargi Sunka) (?1835–?1910) Brûle Sioux chief; born in the northern Great Plains. His conviction for the murder of Chief Spotted Tail was set aside by a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which stated that the U.S. government had no jurisdiction over crimes committed on Indian lands. In the 1880s he joined the Ghost Dance movement.
