Pitikwahanapiwiyin
Pîhtokahanapiwiyin (c. 1842 – 4 July 1886), better known as Poundmaker, was a Plains Cree chief known as a peacemaker and defender of his people.
==Name==
According to Cree oral history, Pîhtokahanapiwiyin, known to English speakers as Chief Poundmaker, inherited his name from his grandfather who had a special ability to attract buffalo into pounds; however, another source〔(Poundmaker, The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan )〕 states that the name was awarded to him because of his own skill with the use of these pounds (and does not relate to his ancestry). A buffalo pound resembled a huge corral with walls covered by the leaves of thick bushes. Usually herds of buffalo were stampeded into this trap, or on other occasions, the buffalo were drawn in by a person like Pîhtokahanapiwiyin, who was according to tradition, gifted by spirit helpers to use a special song to lure in the buffalo. As he sang, he used a drum. The song enticed the lead buffalo cow to bring her herd into the enclosure.
