Framed Print of Mato-tope, Mandan Chief
Mato-tope (1784 - July 30, 1837) was the second chief of the Mandan tribe to be known as Four Bears, a name he earned after charging the Assiniboine tribe during battle with the strength of four bears. He was a brave warrior among his people, famous for killing a Cheyenne chief in hand-to-hand combat. Besides the Cheyenne, Four Bears fought the Sioux, the Arikara, and the Assiniboine and once he killed two Ojibway women. He died on July 30, 1837 after suffering from smallpox, brought to his tribe by whites.
