Lone Wolf, who was among the Kiowa leaders present at Palo Duro Canyon and who was subsequently imprisoned at Fort Marion, was eventually allowed to return to Indian Territory after his imprisonment.

He died in 1879, a few years after his return.

His successor as principal Kiowa chief, Lone Wolf the Younger (Mamay-day-te), was his adopted nephew who led the Kiowa in the subsequent period of reservation life and in the legal battles over the allotment of the Kiowa-Comanche-Kiowa Apache reservation in the early twentieth century.
