What is "maman-ti"

Mamanti ("He Walking-above", "Sky Walker"), also known as Swan (ca. 1835–July 28, 1875) was a Kiowa medicine man.

His name is also spelled Mama'nte and is translated in several ways, including Man-on-a-Cloud, Sky Walker, Walking Above, or Walks-in-the-Sky. After the head chief Dohäsan died in 1866, naming Guipago as his own designated heir and consequently establishing Satanta as the second-ranking chief, Mamanti assumed the role of a war chief, but he got real power when he gained screech owl medicine and became an owl prophet.His rivalry as a medicine man was versus Napawat (No Mocassins), a powerful and influent one friendly to Tene-angopte.

Mamanti had two wives. He had several children with both of his wives, and also an adopted a captive named Tehan.
