Who are the significant persons (heroic, political, religious, military) of lore in North Dakota that would make good characters in a role-playing game if you were to convert their known history into a RPG character? Consider North Dakota's history and modern personalities in your answer.
So for this state I'm going to do the Lakota people, also known as the Sioux. And there are too many Lakota heroes to really go through in one email, so I'll name the main ones IMO.
White Buffalo Calf Woman - Great Sioux shaman - brought to the sacred pipe to the people
Crazy Horse - Would be a fighter or ranger
Sitting Bull - Would be a fighter or ranger
Red Cloud - Would be a fighter or Paladin
Young Man Afraid of His Horses - His name really means that he was so fearsome a warrior that just the sight of his horses caused fear - He would be a ranger and he was also a great peacemaker.
