An Osage political leader of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Bacon Rind (Wah-she-hah, Star-That-Travels) was probably born in Kansas and came to present Osage County, Oklahoma, the former Osage Nation, Indian Territory, during the Osage removal from Kansas in the 1870s. He was an Osage tribal councilman, served as assistant chief in 1904–05, and was elected principal chief in 1912. (Oklahoma Historical Society)
