Chief Dull Knife was a great chief to the Cheyenne people during the 19th century. Dull Knife was his white man's name, but he is known among his Cheyenne people as Morning Star. Morning Star was a Cheyenne warrior in every sense of the word. He upheld his active resistance to Western expansion and the colonial government. It is due to the courage and determination held by Morning Star and other Cheyenne that the Northern Cheyenne possess a homeland in their mother country (present-day Montana).

DullKnife's father was away and his mother busy, and he was playing with his little sister on the banks of a stream, when a large herd of buffalo swept down upon them on a stampede for water.
DullKnife's mother climbed a tree, but the little boy led his sister into an old beaver house whose entrance was above water, and here they remained in shelter until the buffalo passed and they were found by their distracted parents.
DullKnife was regarded by the authorities as a dangerous man, and with his depleted band was taken to the Indian Territory without his consent in 1876.
