Buffalo Hump  Buffalo Hump (Comanche "potsʉnakwahipʉ" "buffalo bull's back") (born ca. late 1790s to early 19th century — died 1870) was a War Chief of the Penateka band of the Comanche Indians. He came to prominence after the Council House Fight when he led the Comanches on the Great Raid of 1840. Little is known of Buffalo Hump's early life: his youth and training as a warrior, together with his cousin Yellow Wolf (Isaviah, sometimes reported as Sabaheit, alias Small Wolf), went on under their uncle, Spirit Talker,’s influence and their ”cursus honorum” was in its full development during the Mexican domination on Texas. In 1829 Buffalo Hump and, presumably, Yellow Wolf led their warriors northward, to recover a large herd of horses stolen by a Cheyenne party, so the young Penateka braves proved themselves against these northern enemies, like their Yamparika (among whom Parra-wasamen, alias Ten Bears, was consolidating his leadership), Nokoni (among whom Huupi-pahati, alias Tall Tree, was growing to become the principal chief), Kotsoteka (among wohm Tawaquenah, alias Big Eagle or Sun Eagle, was the chief leader and Wulea-boo, alias Shaved Head, likely an heir to old-times Halisane, was increasing his chieftainship) and Kwahadi (among whom was starring Pohebits-quasho, alias Iron Jaket, likely heir to old-times Camisa-de-Hierro) relatives were accustomed already, just as were accustomed their Kiowa allies; the Penateka party came on a Cheyenne village near the Bijou Creek, north of Bent's Corral (Huerfano River), and stormed the whole herd of horses, but another Cheyenne party of about 20 warriors, equipped with some rifles, led by the famous chief Ohkohmkhowais (Yellow Wolf the Cheyenne) stole back the animals; the Comanche party chased the fleeing enemies for a distance, but finally gave up to avoid any ambush. Still in 1829, Buffalo Hump and Yellow Wolf led a big raid against the Mexican settlements in the Guadalupe Valley, so causing the failure of Mukewarrah and Incoroy in their dealing to setr an agreement with Mexican authorities.
