GUI-K'ATE (Wolf Lying Down, Sleeping Wolf)

and wife, 1872

Winter of 1872 a group of Kiowa met with a peace commission and agreed to send delegates to Washington. Lone Wolf, Woman Heart, Red Otter, Do ha'san (son of Chief Do ha'san) Sun Boy and Stumbling Bear met with the commission on the Washita and consented to send delegates if their imprisoned chiefs, Set-T'ainte and Big Tree be allowed to meet them at some point, or if five delegates were sent, the prisoners be allowed to go with them. The Kiowa delegation sent was Lone Wolf, the head chief, Sun Boy and Gui-k'ate (Wolf Lying Down, Sleeping Wolf).
