Scope and content
This file has an article entitled "The amazing death of Calf Shirt" by Hugh A. Dempsey, a photocopy from the Montana Magazine of History. Calf Shirt (Onistah-Sokaksin), who was also referred to as Minixi or Wild Person, was the leader of the Nitayxkax (Lone Fighters) band of Kainai - a division of the Niisitapi in the winter of 1873-74 at Fort Kipp, Alberta. In 1865, when two fellow chiefs were murdered by Americans, Calf Shirt led a party which killed a number of settlers who were establishing a town called Ophir in Montana territory - which was then abandoned.
