Authors re-examine the discourse surrounding the life and death of the Kiowa leader Satanta; discuss how even contemporary perceptions of Indigenous historical figures are rooted in colonial narratives of conquest which sought to diminish the humanity of Indigenous peoples and extinguish Indigenous title in favour of white settler expansion.
