True Eagle was a chief in hereditary line of the Missouri tribe, living on the banks of the Missouri River. 'Missouri' is an Indian
name, signifying 'Muddy Water.' True Eagle earned his name by bravery in battle. The Missouri tribe became allies of the French at
an early date, and assisted them in some of their operations against other Indian tribes. They were hostile to the Spanish and
English. In 1805, when Lewis and Clark passed through their country, they numbered only 300 in all. They were living in villages
north of the Platte River, and were affiliated with the Oto.
