“Spotted Tail’s House”

550 Yards

The Government in the 1880s built fine houses for prominent Chiefs at a place of their choice. That of Spotted Tail was on the hillside where the arrow points. He lived there until his untimely death on August 5, 1881 when Crow Dog, erstwhile chief on the Agency police, intercepted him enroute from a council to his home and shot him to death.
