Iron Nation (February 1815—November 14, 1894) was a principal chief of the Lower Brulé Lakota. He was one of the signers of the September 17, 1851 Treaty of Fort Laramie along with people from Lakota, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and other tribes. He also signed the October 14, 1865 treaty at Fort Sully with other Lakota chiefs, which established the Lower Brule Indian Reservation. A state historic marker near the Lower Brule Agency reads:
Chief Iron Nation signed the 1868 Treaty at Fort Laramie in Wyoming which eliminated U.S. forts along the Bozeman Trail in Montana and established the Great Sioux Reservation. Chief Iron Nation also signed the Black Hills agreement in September 1876. U.S. government agents went to the various Indian agencies to obtain signatures signing away Lakota rights to the Black Hills (Lakota: ''Paha Sapa''), which the Lakota consider sacred. The Black Hills had been guaranteed to the Lakota by the 1868 treaty signed at Ft. Laramie, but this was before gold was found, which resulted in the Black Hills Gold Rush. Chief Iron Nation died of pneumonia at his home on the Sioux Reservation November 15, 1894.〔 The South Dakota Department of Tribal Government Relations website notes, "He has been described as a just and noble leader." He was inducted into the South Dakota Hall of Fame in 2006.〔 An 1867 photograph of Iron Nation by Alexander Gardner is held in the collections of the Princeton University Library. Two members of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe produced a 12-minute animated film about Iron Nation in 1997.〔(Iron Nation ) (1997, 12 min. Animation) US.
