Chief Flying Hawk regarded Red Cloud as "The Red Man’s George Washington."
 Flying Hawk fought beside Crazy Horse in Red Cloud's War.
 Chief Red Cloud defeated the U.S. Army in battle, and The Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868) was a great victory.
The U.S. Army Powder River Country forts were abandoned and the hunting grounds of the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho had been protected.
Flying Hawk believed that Red Cloud was one of the wisest Native American leaders.

Red Cloud knew what was best for his people and had tried to keep peace with the whites, but it was no use.
 The whites would not stay out of the Indian's country, and came and took their gold and killed off all their game.
Thus started the trouble and the long bloody war when the soldiers came.
 After the massacre at Wounded Knee, Red Cloud made a speech.
 Flying Hawk asked to have the speech read to him, and McCreight brought a volume from the library containing the speech, and it was carefully translated to him by Thunder Bull to refresh his memory.
 The Chief directed that it be included in his commentaries to tell why they killed Custer and his troopers, and about the Ghost Dance.
