Siŋté Glešká (pronounced gleh-shka, Spotted Tail) (1823 - 1881) was a Brulé Lakota tribal chief. Although a great warrior in his youth, and having taken part in the Grattan massacre, he declined to participate in Red Cloud's War, having become convinced of the pointlessness of opposing the white incursions into his homeland; he became a statesman, speaking for peace and defending the rights of his tribe. In his writings about Wyoming pioneer John Hunton's diaries, historian L. G. (Pat) Flannery noted that Spotted Tail "... was of unusual intellect with deep and abiding understanding of human rights and dignity, who realized the futility of war as an instrument of justice."
