 When troops under Lt. Col George Armstrong Custer attacked the Cheyenne village under Black Kettle, Yamparika warriors from the village of "Esarosavit" 'White Wolf' joined in the counter attack, and "rode over" the detachment of Major Joel Elliot.In 1872, Ten Bears again visited Washington, along with a delegation that included his grandson "Cheevers" (probably from the Spanish "chiva" 'goat', although Attocknie argues that it was "tsii putsi" 'little pitied one'), as well as other Comanches and Kiowas.But the hope that promises would be kept was ultimately futile.
