Little Raven (Arapaho leader)

Little Raven, also known as Hosa , was from about 1855 until his death in 1889 a principal chief of the Southern Arapaho Indians. He negotiated peace between the Southern Arapaho and Cheyenne and the Comanche, Kiowa, and Plains Apache. He also secured rights to the CheyenneArapaho Reservation in Indian Territory.

Little Raven was born on the central Great Plains around 1810, perhaps along the Platte River in presentday Nebraska. He became a progressive leader known for his stately appearance and oratorical skills. In 1840 he mediated peace between the Southern Arapaho and Cheyenne and the Kiowa, Comanche, and Plains Apache. To aid his tribes subsistence, in 1857 he sought agricultural tools and instruction from the United States government.
