Hunkpapa Lakota warrior and chief Gall died on this day in 1894. He fought in the battles of Big Mound, Rosebud and Little Bighorn, among others. Gall and other Lakota moved to Canada with Sitting Bull, but returned to South Dakota and settled on the Standing Rock Reservation in 1881, where he converted to Christianity, became a farmer, and was a judge on the Court of Indian Affairs.
