Red Jacket (c. 1750 - January 20, 1830), known as Otetiani in his youth and Sagoyewatha after 1780, was a Native American of the Seneca tribe's Wolf Clan. The Seneca word, Sagoyewatha, translates approximately as he keeps them awake, alluding to his great oratory skills.
Red Jacket urged neutrality during the American Revolutionary War, but finally accepted the majority decision of the Iroquois League, to which the Seneca and six other tribes were aligned. With them, he joined the side of the British Empire, but throughout the war continued to maintain his stance of negotiation over battle. It was during this war that he gained his English name, receiving a red dress uniform jacket, which became his trademark, by a British officer impressed with Sagoyewatha's leadership quality.
