Chief Burning Face - acquired his name during the sand creek massacre. originally known as “Big Wolf,” he was 27 years old when he defended his village from the US army during an attack. Amid the smoke and fire of the massacre, he appeared to be on fire. he miraculously survived, became a chief, and lived to 80 years old.
