Chief Iron Tail (Sinte Maza) Buffalo Nickel Hoodie
Chief Iron Tail, also known as Sinte Maza (Lakota Sioux for "Iron Tail"), was a prominent figure and a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe. He gained widespread recognition and fame in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Chief Iron Tail is most famously known for being one of the Native American leaders who traveled with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. He joined the show in 1885 and became one of its star attractions, showcasing his traditional Lakota regalia, skills, and culture to audiences across the United States and Europe. Chief Iron Tail's participation in the Wild West Show helped create awareness and interest in Native American culture during that time.
One of his most significant achievements was serving as one of the models for the design of the Buffalo nickel (as displayed on our hoodie), a five-cent coin that was in circulation from 1913 to 1938. The portrait of a Native American on the obverse side of the coin was said to be a composite representation of Chief Iron Tail, Chief Two Moons, and Chief John Big Tree.
Chief Iron Tail's life and contributions continue to be remembered and celebrated as an important figure in Native American history, representing the resilience, culture, and traditions of the Lakota people.
