Whirling Horse was another member of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. Despite the fact that the Native Americans on the show all came from different tribes, they were all known as “show Indians."

Their job was to reenact historic battles and perform their native dances for audiences. The Native American members of the group would also perform shows portraying aspects of their culture, they even had some shows portraying themselves as victims of Western expansion, being forcibly removed from their homelands.

In many ways, the Wild West Show helped cool tensions and public opinion towards the end of the American-Indian Wars after years of US propaganda against Native Americans. After participating in the Wild West Show, many of these Native Americans would go on to become silent film stars, playing similar roles in Hollywood - and Whirling Horse was no exception.
