| Choctaw chief of the Kinsahahi Clan, born at Noxubee Creek in present-day Mississippi, USA. Elected principal chief of the Choctaw (1805), he urged peace with and ceded much tribal land to the USA. He opposed Tecumseh's attempts to form a confederacy of Indian tribes, and he fought for the USA in the War of 1812. As a chief he invested money in education based on the methods of European settlers. |
