Kicking Bird

As a result, Satanta emerged in a prominent leadership role among his people and his reputation as a war-maker made him the dominant Kiowa figure to be reckoned with in the eyes of whites and other Indians.

When Satanta stepped down as war chief in late 1874, to be arrested immediately thereafter, and Lone Wolf surrendered early the next year, Kicking Bird was the only remaining Kiowa chief with a sizable following.

He is buried alongside many noticeable Kiowa leaders: Satank, Satanta, Stumbling Bear, Big Bow, Hunting Horse, and Quanah Parker.

He participated in numerous assemblies as a representative of the Kiowa alongside Lone Wolf, and promised to restore peace among the Kiowa.
