Chief Crowfoot (c. 1830 – 25 April 1890) or Isapo-Muxika (Blackfoot Issap��mahksika, "Crow-big-foot" was a chief of the Siksika First Nation. His parents, Istowun-eh'pata (Packs a Knife) and Axkahp-say-pi (Attacked Towards Home), were Kainai. His brother Iron Shield became Chief Bull. He was only five when Istowun-eh'pata was killed during a raid on the Crow tribe, and a year later, his mother remarried to Akay-nehka-simi (Many Names) of the Siksika people. The young boy was adopted by the Siksika, who gave him the name Kyi-i-staah (Bear Ghost), until he could receive his father’s name, Istowun-eh’pata. Because of his brave performance and injury during the battle, he was finally given his adult name, Isapo-muxika, taken from a deceased relative. Though he was well respected for his bravery, Crowfoot refused to join the North-West Rebellion of 1885, believing it to be a lost cause. In 1886, Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald invited Crowfoot to Ottawa. Crowfoot went, as did Three Bulls and Red Crow, but he soon fell ill and had to return home. Crowfoot died of tuberculosis at Blackfoot Crossing on April 25, 1890.
