Marpiya te najin, or Marpiya Okinajin, literally "He-who-stands-in-the-Clouds", was a Dakota warrior noted for being one of the "38+2" Dakota warriors executed in Mankato, Minnesota[1] by the order of U.S. Army Colonel Henry Hastings Sibley for their resistance of U.S. Military incursions upon Dakota land in the Dakota War of 1862,[2][3] one of the American Indian Wars carried out in the American pursuit of the political-cultural philosophy Manifest Destiny. Marpiya te najin has also historically been known improperly by the mistranslated name Cut-Nose, which is considered inappropriate by many members of the Dakota people.
