Old Chief Smoke was an original Oglala Sioux head chief.
In 1849, Old Chief Smoke moved his Wágluȟe camp to Ft. Laramie, Wyoming. Wágluȟe were considered by the U.S. Army and Indian agents to be the most progressive band of Lakota and many became Indian Police, U.S. Army Indian Scouts with the U.S. 4th Cavalry Regiment from Ft. Laramie, Wyoming, and intermediaries with other bands of Lakotas.
