1933 Indian Gum #154, Luqaiot ⭐ Fierce Warrior of the Pacific Northwest
Luqaiot was a prominent American Indian warrior of the Yakama and Spokane tribes.
During a fierce 1856 battle against the U.S. military, Luqaiot was shot twice in the chest. After collapsing, a passing American soldier used a heavy rifle butt to cave in his skull—a common tactic meant to deliver a definitive, ammunition-saving death blow. Remarkably, Luqaiot survived, leaving a permanent forehead crater that contemporaries noted "could hold an egg".
