Which of the following Native American leaders was the last to surrender to the US army?

Crazy Horse

Osceola

Explanation:

After the Civil War, conflicts against Indians increased in the Western territories of the United States. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse defeated General Custer at Little Bighorn, but surrendered to US forces in the late 1870s. Geronimo and the Apaches continued fighting the US Cavalry in the Southwest until ultimately surrendering in 1886.
