What was the name of the chief of the Shoshone tribe?

The Shoshone people existed in many different bands over many hundreds of years, so naturally they had more than one chief. The most famous is probably Washakie of the Eastern Shoshones. He saw the futility of fighting the ever-growing number of white settlers, so instead he offered them support and protection. He had been born in the early 1800s and his father was a Flathead, but like most Plains people he took the tribe of his mother - the Shoshones. He rose to prominence as a chief in the 1830s, becoming principal chief in 1843.
