Gall, b. Gall (b. Pizi)(?1840–95) Hunkpapa Sioux war chief; born near the Morrow River in present-day South Dakota. As a young warrior he was adopted by Sitting Bull as a major Sioux war chief. He fought with Red Cloud in the 1860s and was a leader in the Battle of the Little Bighorn (1876). He retreated with Sitting Bull to Canada but returned in 1880 and settled on the Standing Rock reservation. He came to accept white rule, even advocating land cessions, and in 1889 he became a judge on the Court of Indian Offenses. He broke with Sitting Bull and refused to support the Sioux uprising that culminated at Wounded Knee. |
