Arapaho Chief Little Raven was a powerful orator, known for peace negotiations among the Southern Arapaho, Plains Apaches, and other tribes. His daughter, Anna Raven, was a student at the Carlisle school.

Northern Cheyenne warrior Bobtail Horse had fought in the Battle of Little Big Horn, defending a ford from approaching soldiers in Custer's immediate command. He later enlisted as a scout under General Nelson Miles.

John N. Choate (1848-1902) began a long photographic career at Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1879 when the famous Carlisle Indian Industrial School was founded.
