Buffalo Hump was a Native American War Chief of the Penateka band of the Comanche Indians.
Little is known of Buffalo Hump's early life. He became a historically important figure when, angered by the Council House fight of 1840, he led a group of Comanches, mostly his own band plus allies from various other Comanche bands, in the Great Raid of 1840.
Their goal was to get revenge on the Texans who had killed thirty members of a delegation of Comanche Chiefs when these had been under a flag of truce for negotiations.
Buffalo Hump wasn't the Comanche war chief's real name. Americans refused to call him by his actual name which actually meant “erection that won’t go down”.
