Wa-Na-Ta ca. 1795-1848 was an influential Sioux Yanktona on the Minnesota River leader who fought against the Americans in the War of 1812 even leading a charge on Fort Sandusky whence his nickname. For his exceptional heroism he was received at the English court and promoted to Captain. After the war however he sided with the U.S. In 1825 he signed the Treaties of Fort Pierre and Prairie du Chien which established peace and territorial boundaries between the Sioux Chippewas Sac and Foxes and Ioways. He was murdered by his people who were upset with his leadership. Major Stephen H. Long met Wa-Na-Ta in 1835 and commented: "We had never seen a nobler face or a more impressive character." When leaders of various tribes came to visit President Monroe in 1821 McKenney Superintendent of Indian Affairs and a defender of Native American interests commissioned artist Charles Bird King to paint portraits of the delegates in their choice of dress. Most of King's original paintings subsequently burned in a fire at the Smithsonian. The lithographs in McKenney and Hall's publication are the only extant record of the likenesses of many of the prominent Native American leaders of the nineteenth century. See: Howes M129.
