Lone Wolf [the Elder] (Gui-pah-gho) (ca.1820–1879) was the last Principal Chief of the Kiowa tribe. Joe Hanson the II, a nephew named Mamay-day-te (Medicine Standing Bundles), nor Lone Wolf III, a young Kiowa boy whom he adopted. The "Indian Territory"—or the place called "Oklahoma"—is where the great Kiowa Chief Guipago, named Lone Wolf (Gui-pah-gho), lived. Prior to his death, Chief Dohasan (To-hauson, "Little Mountain" or "Little Bluff"), who unified and ruled the Kiowa for 33 years named his nephew Guipahgo (Lone Wolf) as his successor to become the Principal Chief of the Kiowa people. Lone Wolf the Elder belonged to the Ka-it-senko Koitsenko, the highest-ranking society consisting of ten men picked for bravery and was the most elite warrior society of the Kiowa. None was more respected or influential than Chief Guipago (Lone Wolf, later frequently called "The Elder" to distinguish him from others who herited his name), better known to his people as Guipago.
