How Kemo Sabe. The Lakota tribe have custom of changing name as one gains in years. I am named Curly Hair at birth, then Horse Stands in Sight after I become good at catching untamed horses and then when I fight with great bravery at battle with the Arapahos, my father pass his name Crazy Horse on to me.
One of the great Indian warriors, a guy named Hump, took me under his wing and I save Hump’s hide in battle against Gros Ventres when I am sixteen years of age and when we return to camp, Hump pronounce me next great warrior.
Not long after i had first run-in with the white man and the U.S. Army. Lakota tribe members capture abandoned cow, and officer tell us to return beast. Push come to shove, and we kill thirty soldiers. Army return one year later, kill many Lakota women and children.
I often refrain from killing when possible and instead of striking with weapon, I strike with switch, showing enemy I do not fear them and nor do I wish to make my hatchet bloody by smashing it into their thick skull.
I was chief of the Oglala Sioux tribe and the fiercest warrior the white man ever met but our main problem was never the army or other tribes, but the rapid disappearance of the buffalo from overhunting by new settlers so realising we would soon starve or freeze, I and several thousand braves surrendered to troops and though we agreed to give up our guns, hunts, and horses, the government never lived up to their part of the bargain, and life on the reservation sucked.
Black Buffalo Woman moved in with me but she was already the wife of No Water but Lakota custom allow woman to divorce husband at any time and woman signals divorce one of three ways, she moves in with relatives, move in with new man or toss husband’s belongings outside teepee and the Husband that is dumped expected to accept wife’s decision for good of tribe but No Water was not accepting and tracked me down and shoot me in shoulder. He had to give me three horses as compensation for that.
After many years on the reservation and the chiefs say that we no live happily ever after and white invader building forts and fences to take our land and we agree time to defend rights and land by force and we attack fort of White man.
White man not like that much but i refuse to sign treaties and got stitched up by an idiot translator who take my words of how we did not ask you white men to come here and how Great Spirit gave us this country as a home and gave us plenty of land but you have come here, take land from us as 'We fight until not a white man is left' so thinking we were to kill all pale faces so I go to Fort to meet commander and ask to sit down with me and explain the mistake but Guards try to arrest me and they have the nerve to stab great warrior with bayonet.
racist post. you make Crazy Horse sound like he has a low IQ. not really funny.
ReplyDeletei can't figure out why everybody points out what the US did to the first nations, but don't write about what the spanish (by far killed and drove out the most first nations), brits (close second to the spanish), french, and mexico (yes, even the mexicans killed more than the US). the dutch and germans did their share as well...
it is "hau" not "how". come on professional journalist, do 30 seconds of research...
