	Hump
		Along with many others, Hump also went into Canada ; however, he and his Miniconjou Sioux were the last band to do so.
		Eventually placed on the reservation, Hump again went across the grain by maintaining the old way of using lodges/tipis as well as the wearing of traditional clothing, whereas the rest of the bands came to adopt “white” clothing.
		Thus he was impressed by Captain Ewer’s courge when along with a Lieutenant Hale, rode 60 miles into Miniconjou Camp at Cherry Creek.

		A young lieutenant marched into the Sioux camp and demanded that the cow-eater be turned over for swift justice; soon his troops opened fire on the village, and the wars had begun.
