Lame White Man, or Vé'ho'énȯhnéhe (c. 1837 or 1839–1876), was a Cheyenne battle chief who fought at the Battle of the Little Big Horn, June 25, 1876, and was killed there. He was the only Cheyenne chief to die in the battle.
He was also known as Bearded Man (to the Lakota) and Mad Hearted Wolf (Hahk o ni).[citation needed] He was the husband of Twin Woman and father to Red Hat and Crane Woman. His grandson John Stands In Timber, born after his death, became the tribal historian of the Northern Cheyenne, and wrote the book, Cheyenne Memories (1967), based on the oral history of his people.

At 39 years old in 1876, some contend that Lame White Man would have been considered old for a warrior.
