Morning Star (Cheyenne: Vóóhéhéve, also known as Dull Knife) was a great chief to the Northern Cheyenne people during the 19th century. He was noted for his active resistance to Western expansion and the Federal government. It is due to the courage and determination held by Morning Star and other Cheyenne leaders that the Northern Cheyenne still possess a homeland in their traditional country (present-day Montana).
Morning Star is Volume I of the novel sequence First Born of Egypt by Simon Raven, published in 1984.
