Two Strike (Numpkahapa, 1831–1915) was a Brulé Lakota chief born in the White River Valley in the northwest of present day Nebraska. He earned his Lakota name "Nomkahpa", meaning "Knocks Two Off" in a battle with the Utes, when he knocked two Utes off their horses with a single blow of his war club. Two Strike fought in various battles against the U.S. Army during the time of Bozeman Trail wars, allied with Chief Crow Dog and Chief Crazy Horse in the Powder River country of Wyoming.
