Petaleshara Ends the Rite of Human Sacrifice
In 1824 Pawnee warrior Petaleshara defied Skidi priests to free a bound Comanche captive from a death ritual to the morning star. He rescued the woman, fled with her on horses, and later received a silver medal from Washington seminary students for his act. The Skidi abandoned human sacrifice thereafter. Petaleshara’s fame grew until his death in 1874.
