6. If memory serves, it was Black Kettle.
He had made peace for his bands and was given an American flag. He was told that as long as the American flag flew above his village, he would be considered a friend and he need never fear being attacked.
Of course, Black Kettle was standing under his flag when his village was attacked and virtually wiped out...including fetuses cut from their mothers' bellies....genitals of both sexes cut away from the bodies for souvenirs and tobacco pouches.
Even in his own time Chivington was denounced as a war criminal...but of course he was never prosecuted.
