Buffalo Bill's Wild West and a congress of American Indians. Circus poster showing American Indians leading attack against pioneers in covered wagons. Chromolithograph by the Currier Lithograph Company, 1899. Includes portrait of Buffalo Bill on horseback. William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody (February 26, 1846 - January 10, 1917) was an American soldier, bison hunter and showman. One of the most colorful figures of the American Old West, Buffalo Bill became famous for the shows he organized with cowboy themes, which he toured in Great Britain and Europe as well as the United States. During a time when the Bureau of Indian Affairs was intent on promoting Native assimilation, he used his influence with U.S. government officials to secure Native American performers for his Wild West. He treated Native American employees as equals with white cowboys. They received good wages, transportation, housing, abundant food and gifts of clothing and cash from Buffalo Bill at the end of each season. As a frontier scout, Cody respected Native Americans and supported their rights. He called them "the former foe, present friend, the American", and once said, "Every Indian outbreak that I have ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the government."
