| Info | Chief Red-Jacket (1750-1830) was known as Otetiani in his youth and Sagoyewatha after 1780. He was a Native American from the Seneca tribe, and was chief of the Wolf clan. He earned the name Red-Jacket because of his fondness for an embroidered red coat given to him by the British for his wartime services. |
