Chief Thundercloud, (born Victor Daniels, April 12, 1899 – December 1, 1955) was an American character actor in Westerns.
Information about Thundercloud is vague. His application for a social security number lists his birth date as April 12, 1899 and his birthplace as Arizona. Most biographies state that he was a full-blooded Cherokee (or Muskogee), although others state that he had some German, Scottish and/or Irish ancestors;. Thundercloud was the first of nine children born to Jesus Daniels and Tomaca Daniels (as indicated on his social security application), though The pressbook for The Lone Ranger Rides Again announced his parents as "Dark Cloud and Morning Star, aristocrats of the Muskogee tribe" and his death certificate lists his father as "Joseph Mahawa."
Raised on a ranch in Arizona, he was educated at the University of Arizona at Tucson where he excelled not only scholastically but in athletics (football, boxing) although no record exists of his enrollment.
