Spotted
Eagle ?-?
Spotted Eagle (WAMBLI GLESKA
after his father) belonged to Tatanka Cesli (Bull Dung) band of Itazipcho
(Sans Arc) subdivision, Sioux tribe. He was a fierce warrior, noted for
his prowess and charm.
He was the principal chief of the Itazipcho, along chief Kill Eagle, at
Little Big Horn, leading 180 warriors.
Shortly after the battle, he fled with Sitting Bull to Canada.
Then he came back to the USA, and he surrended to General Nelson Miles
in 31 October 1880 at Standing Rock Agency (Montana) with his band (400
people).
In August 1881, with some others, he moved to Cheyenne River Agency, where
he was still included in the census of 1886. Dates of his birth and death
are unknown.
