White Stick Creek chief. Supporter of Indian agent Benjamin Hawkins' programs for bringing white civilization to the Creeks and ally of the United States in the Creek War of 1813-1814.
Despite their loyalty during the war, Big Warrior and other White Sticks were forced by the victorious military commander and treaty commissioner, Andrew Jackson, to cede a large portion of their Alabama and Georgia lands to pay for the conflict (Treaty of Fort Jackson, Aug. 9, 1814). After this betrayal, Big Warrior assumed the views of the hostile Red Stick Creeks and eventually retreated to Pensacola, Florida.
