Satank (* around 1810; † 1871 ) was a Kiowa sub-chief who first came to the fore as a skilled negotiating strategist in the peace negotiations between Kiowa and Comanche on the one hand and Southern Arapaho and Southern Cheyenne on the other. As a member of the League of Ten Bravest Kiowa Warriors, he led countless raids in Texas and Mexico between 1835 and 1871 . After he was arrested with Satanta and Big Tree in 1871 , he was able to escape on the transport to the Huntsville State Prison, but was shot dead by a US soldier while on the run.
