Edward Lone Fight

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Lone Fight (born 1940) served as Chairman of the Three Affiliated Tribes in the 1980s. In 1988 Lone Fight met with President Ronald Reagan, a meeting which was the catalyst for the tribes receiving compensation from the flooding of reservation due to the construction of the Garrison Dam under the Pick-Sloan Legislation. The son of Mabel Good Bird and Theodore Lone Fight, Edward is also a direct descendant of Waheenie Wea (Buffalo Bird Woman) Sheheke, Chief Four Bears and other notable American Indians. "Lone Fight" is a broad family name related exclusively to the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of the Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota.
