Prior to becoming chief, he was a fierce warrior named Mamadayte who survived the Battle of Washita, in which General Custer surprised and overcame Black Kettle, Chief of the Cheyenne. In 1879, he was adopted by the elder Chief Lone Wolf based on his bravery in battle. In 1901, while serving as Kiowa Chief, he filed suit, on behalf of several tribes, opposing opening Indian Territory to white settlement. In his suit, Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock 187 US 553 (1903), which was decided by the Supreme Court, he charged that Native American tribes were being defrauded of their land by acts of Congress, in violation of the Medicine Lodge Treaty. Even though he lost the suit, a landmark case, he led his people in adapting peacefully to the white man's culture.

After his death there were no real chiefs.In his time Lone Wolf soared to the lofty heights of chieftainship and felt the exhilarating chase of warriorhood. He saw his domain covering Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and parts of Old Mexico shrink to a mere 160 acre allotment. In boyhood he saw U. S. soldiers forbade the Sundance and the Kiowa warriors withdrew from the banks of the Wichita River. Their medicine lodge was deserted and their sacred Sundance tree left standing alone.
That aborted Sundance held in 1884 is still known to the Kiowas as "The day the forked poles were left standing." The Chief saw a way of life end and a new way of life beginning to take root.
