“Chief Washakie” was born around 1804 and crossed-over one final time to the Spirit World on February 20th 1900. He was a prominent leader of the Shoshone People, during the mid-19th century. Chief Washakie was first mentioned, in 1840, in the written record of the American fur trapper, Osborne Russell. In 1851, at the urging of trapper Jim Bridger, Chief Washakie led a band of Shoshone People to the council meetings of the “Treaty of Fort Laramie”. Essentially, from that time until his death, he was considered the Head Chief of the Eastern Shoshones, by the United States government.  Chief Washakie's mother, Lost Woman, was a Tussawehee (White Knife) Shoshoni, by birth. His father, Crooked Leg (Paseego), was an Umatilla man, who was rescued as a boy from “slave traders”. His prowess in battle, his efforts for peace and his commitment to his People's welfare made Chief Washakie one of the most respected leaders in Indigenous American history.
