He was raised on war, battling neighboring Crow and Pawnee from a young age. As he grew, so did his reputation for his skills in battle and raiding. At only fifteen years of age he accompanied a war-party that killed eighty Pawnee. He took two scalps and shot a man. Two years later he lead a band that killed eight of the same tribe. He continued to claim more scalps and lives over his long life, both other tribes and whites. He became a legend for his military prowess and a well-respected leader of his people.
