Conquering Bear was a Brule Lakota chief who worked to achieve peace between migrating Americans and the Lakota Sioux. In 1851, Conquering Bear signed the Fort Laramie Treaty indicating that designated Native American land could not be claimed by Americans and Europeans who were inspired by Manifest Destiny.
