    Luther Standing Bear Ota K’Te – Oglala Lakota

    Luther Standing Bear, was born ca. 1868 on the Pine Ridge Reservation to an Oglala Lakota family. His family named him Ota K’Te – Plenty Kill, but he later took his father’s first name as his surname. Raised in a traditional manner, Standing Bear learned how to hunt buffalo with his father until, at the age of 11, he was sent to Carlisle Indian Industrial School, a federal boarding school for Native American children in Pennsylvania, and became a member of the school’s first graduating class.
