RKD JACKET, or SA-OO-TE-WATTIA (1751-1830), 

 Indian chief of the Wolf tribe of the Senecaa, was 

 born at Old Castle, near the foot of Seneca Lake, N. 

 Y.. in 17.il. His Indian name given above means, 

 "He keeps them awake," and was assumed on his 

 attaining the dignity of a sachem. His name "Red 

 Jacket' was derived from a richly embroidered scar- 

 let jacket, the gift of an English officer, which he 

 took great pride in wearing. In youth he was re- 

 niarkably fleet of foot, and was often em ployed by 

 his own people, and, during the Revolutionary war, 

 by the British officers on the border as ft scout and 

 courier. On the death of Brant (7. v.) Red Jacket 

 became the leading man among the Sir Nations. In 

 .it a council held at Fort Stanwix to negotiate a 

 fir the cession of lands. Red Jacket spoke elo- 

 quently in opposition to it, but it was never! In ]< -s 

 ratified. In 17'.I2, on the conclusion of a treaty of 

 peace between the United States and the Six N 

 Washington presented him with a silver medal which 



vice to the Amcnc.in army, in particular on the eve 

 of the battle of Chippewa. In IM'J'.t he | 

 through New York on ills way to Washington, and 

 while in the former city sat for his portrait to Roliert 

 W. Weir. Although then in his TM!I year i 

 still hale and vigorous. In his later years he was 

 grossly given to drinking, but was able to restrain 

 himself on great occasions, as before a council. He 

 was implacable in his hostility to ( 'liristianity and to 

 missionaries, and despised the while man his dress, 

 speech, and customs. His diameter was marked with 

 strange contradictions. Largely destitute of physical 

 courage, he yet possessed tenaeity of purpose and 

 great moral resolution. As a statesman he was saga- 

 cious ; as an orator, of surpassim: do ( ueni'e. Vet he 

 could descend to the incam .-t expedients of the d'am- 

 gogue. In all circumstances, however, he w;i> a patriot 

 and loved his nation, whose extinetioii he PIOLMIO-M- 

 cated but strove to avert. His form was tall and 

 erect, his walk dignified, and his oratory, partii 

 in council, almost majestic. He died at Seneca Vil- 

 lage, near Buffalo, N. V.. Jan. 30. l.Vi'i. His Lift 

 has been written by W. L Stone (l*r.7). (j. II.) ,
