I am part Oglala Lakota and it was said that Crazy Horse could tuck his hair under a hat, dressed as a white man, and could ride right into a fort and go about unnoticed.
When he did, they said “you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do…” So he took off his hat & said "Imagine that? Huh! Me working for you…”
Not really though they were a bit basic to be fair and if they were "great" warriors then we were better. A violent backwards culture that cried when we beat them. Now a nation of alcoholics and meth heads 😮 savages that got savaged oh well the world keeps turning
Crazy Horse's band never Surrendered or was a party to any treaty. They are the owners of all lands in the USA, Canada, and northern Mexico; that have not been included in any treaty with other tribes.
I am very honored that you get the Crazy Horse memorial for me crazy horses great and honor man for I am also a cultural who was born free in the United States
Wow! "By being held back by his own people" - very sad ending to a contrary warrior who could only die if brought down by his own people. A cruel double meaning that foretold of this mighty warriors death, whose greatness lies in his humility. To be humble and be great at the same time is truly contrary for a member of a fierce warrior tribe. Crazy Horse pulled it off and made a name for himself - a great name - Crazy Horse!
@@Otisbear480 says the person using a cell phone to argue on the internet. Oh and that means you’ll refuse to go to the hospital next time you need to, right?
Thasunka Witko, Crazy Horse was the cousin of my g+ grandfather, and my g+grandmother named Sees The Track, on another side of my family is the sister of Sitting Bull. I’m Cheyenne River/Oglala Lakota.
My grandpa has art at the crazy hore monument and the tribe asked if we would spread his ashes on the flowers off the front of the monument. It was very special. His name is Steve Fountain. He passed a long time ago but his paintings are still in the gift shop/museum. He spend a lot of his life up there with those people.
The horses crazy horse trained remained brave and spirited and very obedient…not broken . People brought their horses to Crazy Horse near and far to be trained.
Just recently found your channel, and this stuff is fantastic. I love history, but this particular subject is something I haven't previously studied in any significant depth. I've learned a lot already. Thank you and keep it up!
I’m sorry, I did laugh when you mention, “take the scalp, show to their mom, proud of him, and hang it on the fridge.” For a second, that joke went over my head. 😂
Great video as always. You have a fantastic balance of information and humour that make your videos a pleasure to watch. Keep the Native American ones coming please they are fascinating.
I appreciate it. Next one is about Wolf attacks in Russia but on the docket for Native Americans are a detailed video on the Grattan Massacre, Apache Stealth, The Yemassee War (that will be a big one), and I would like to revisit Lewis Wetzel. Hopefully those four and many more are finished before the year is out. Any topics in particular you think would be valuable to add to the list?
I’d love to hear more about Lewis Wetzel. If Hollywood really wanted to make money and quit the woke nonsense, his life story would make a great movie.
Not really a vicious backwards savage to be honest it's not like he did anything for the good of humanity. The Sioux fought everyone beat everyone then celebrated when we beat them they cried and continue to cry today they became alcoholic method heads on a res and still cry about it , they never cried for the tribes they bullied and robbed. Savages
I grew up in a town called Moses Lake, named after Chief Moses, in the Pacific Northwest. It wasn’t until I did my own research as an adult that I realized the story we had been given was, at best, whitewashed. I love it when historians avoid convention and just give us the true facts- the stories as understood by the Native Americans who lived them. I appreciate your efforts and hope you continue to put out well researched material.
My ex-wife was a direct descendant of sitting Bull, making crazy horse her great-great-something uncle. I didn’t believe it until I spoke to the elders of the Oglala tribe. Blessed to be a witness to some of the traditions. Such a rich history, and much respect to the the warrior spirit.
Great story. I thought I knew a little but never put together the point of him being stabbed to death while his friends (tribe) held him back and how that tied straight to his dream. Just noticed this is 5 months old but thanks anyway. You're damned good at telling these storied
There is an old movie....Victor Mature plays Crazy Horse..... having read many books about Crazy Horse...this old movie told it as I have always heard. (I traveled a lot in my younger days, and I always enjoyed my Sioux friends...and I learned much)
I have watched several of your videos, first time leaving a comment. I really enjoy your videos and the way you explain the history, like you are talking to your friends! You make it easy to follow and understand, I love history, mostly Native American history. I am familiar with many of the topics but find I still learn from each video somethings I did not know or I get a better understanding of the topic because of you timelines and explanations. Thanks very much and keep them coming, great job!
Liked as always, the best story about him I made on you tube! Your main source is top notch and the Name of the Lakota who held him while killing was Little Big Man who ten years before boomed one of the endless for the mighty Lakota rewarded councils. Good made this one Tashunka witko I thought was The horse which looks at the other world in battle but maybe it's the same like Psycho Pony. From Northern Germany
Hello from Brazil, my friend. Your videos are amazing, specially the Apaches vs Comanches one. Just try to get a better audio quality, specially for us that are not English native speakers.
Imagine having a man of such honor as crazy horse to be a senator or president in todays times. A man who protected children and elders at all cost but was humble enough to be able to make peace between warlike men.
I just found your channel and I really like it. I think you need to improve the sound quality, though. Your content deserves a better production. Thanks. I don't mean to complain, I just think you and your viewers would benefit from better sound.
@@datesanddeadguys I've been doing it for 3 years and still don't understand man. But I'll say if you didn't have a very interesting topic and an interesting way of sharing it I would have checked out. But I was impressed enough to look past it. Again great work about a Great Man!.!
I read a biography on crazy horse while in grade school (‘66/‘67?) took interest that lasts to today… the Sun dance was described in detail… love to hear your thought on that aspect
I have thought about revisiting the Lakota. Are you referring to Crazy Horse’s Sun dance specifically? I can’t tell you much but I would guess he did not dance and that’s funny to me.
This story is somewhat inaccurate. Crazy Horse wasn't murdered by U.S. soldiers. He was killed or knifed by a member of his own people - Lakota. He also had a wife, so he didn't lose the girl to another brave. He was a strategist in the war at Little Big Horn against U.S. troops led by Gen. Custer, who died in the battle.
hi, you wrote "He also had a wife, so he didn't lose the girl to another brave", nope, he did both. I watch and read a lot about him and natives. His first true love was Black Buffalo Woman... "In the fall of 1870, Crazy Horse invited Black Buffalo Woman to accompany him on a buffalo hunt in the Slim Buttes area of present-day northwestern South Dakota. She was the wife of No Water, who had a reputation for drinking too much. It was the Lakota's custom to allow a woman to divorce her husband at any time. She did so by moving in with relatives or with another man, or by placing the husband's belongings outside their lodge. Although some compensation might be required to smooth over hurt feelings, the rejected husband was expected to accept his wife's decision. No Water was away from camp when Crazy Horse and Black Buffalo Woman left for the buffalo hunt. No Water tracked down Crazy Horse and Black Buffalo Woman in the Slim Buttes area. When he found them in a teepee, he called Crazy Horse's name from outside. When Crazy Horse answered, No Water stuck a pistol into the teepee and aimed for Crazy Horse. Touch the Clouds, Crazy Horse's first cousin and son of Lone Horn, was sitting in the teepee nearest the entry. He knocked the pistol upward as No Water fired, deflecting the bullet to Crazy Horse's upper jaw. No Water left, with Crazy Horse's relatives in hot pursuit. No Water ran his horse until it died and continued on foot until he reached the safety of his own village." Several elders convinced Crazy Horse and No Water that no more blood should be shed. As compensation for the shooting, No Water gave Crazy Horse three horses. Because Crazy Horse was with a married woman, he was stripped of his title as Shirt Wearer (leader). Black Shawl or Tasina Sapewin (Lakota: Tȟašína Sápa Wiŋ, lit. 'Black-Blanket-Woman') was the wife of Crazy Horse, whom she married in 1871. She was Crazy Horse's second wife. She had a daughter in 1871, named They Are Afraid of Her. They Are Afraid of Her died at age three, likely of cholera and Crazy Horse was devasted. "Chief Crazy Horse first wife was Black Buffalo Woman. they were married for three to four days according to Oglala tradition. Chief Crazy Horse second wife was Black Shaw Woman, from about 1870 until his death. According to Oglala tradition Chief Crazy Horse married Ellen Larrabee, commonly known as Nellie. Ellen Larrabee (Nellie) parents were Joe Larrabee. Joe Larrabee a French fur trader from Saint Charles on the Missouri River, married a full blood Cheyenne woman called Shawunwinla (Cheyenne Woman) by the Oglala. Nellie married Chief Crazy Horse about July or August and remained for the last part of the last summer of Chief Crazy Horse life until his death."
He was bayonetted by private William Gentles on guard duty at the guardhouse in the struggle there as he was being held by Little big man then a scout and another soldier as they tried to get him inside.
Crazy Horse childhood name was funny hair. Full blooded Natives always have straight black hair. His father's childhood name was Worm and you can have more then one childhood name. So after your first time you try to seek a vision you are able to get a traditional name. Most of the time you are given a name from one of your direct ancestors. It's considered a great honor to have a relative passed their name to you.
I'm Métis, and DNA proves I'm a Half Blood. My Ancestors came from Canada though many ended up in different parts of the USA. Our history is different but interesting as well. I'm proud of who I am but I've always admired warrior's such as Crazy Horse,American Horse, Geronimo, and more than I could list here. Great Warrior's who resisted the best they could. Respect.
For a blue eyed Celt from U.K. believe it or not I have what I regard as a Native American name ( well , Uk version 🤣) Was born at home , my Dad delivered me ( I am 9th child) to save Dads back he raised the Bed with books . Ha ha ! SOooo not a Native American yet have a fitting name , My name is “ Born on books”. My Dad told that story whenever I was introduced to anyone 🤣
All the books I read from crazy horse , red cloud , black elk , battle of the greasy grass . Crazy Horse had always adorned a single Feather from a Red Tail Hawk . Just as the Red tail Hawk that guided his vision. Yet in the video you said it was from a falcon 🤔🧐
Because of some dreams I have had I felt that my Viking Ancestor mixed with the Lacota and eventually Crazy Horse was born with the light hair. Before I knew the story of Him, I was dreaming of a horse that goes careening towards the end of land with two teardrops preceeding it from its eyes. In the dream I cried and said "If only we knew what this horse knows we too would RUSH to the end of land." ( we would turn away from the material world to the realm of Spirit) Our will would be only the will of the Creator. Our lower nature eternally linked to our higher nature sacrificing for the love of God.
You are mistaken in the bravery test. The third person to touch a downed enemy was considered the bravest. The first and second person were touching a man who was still in a daze from falling. However by the time the third person touched him, he was considered to have regained his senses. Therefore the third person was in the most danger, and the bravest for touching an enemy, without striking him.
THAN YOU for stating that there is no known photograph of Tasunka Witko! For future reference, it isn't Broo-lay, it's simply Brool! Nothing special, just a simple one-syllable word! Also, for what it's worth, Conquering Bear wouldn't give up the cow killer because he was from another band and was a GUEST in the village and, therefore, according to Lakota custom and law, he could not be given up because it would violate custom! The fact that Gratten, thought the Indians were stupid and their customs and culture had no place on the face of the Earth, he got himself and all his men killed! All due to stupidity and a lack of common humanity! Also, Tasunka Witko wasn't known for scalping his victims! He really wasn't into that! Joe Marshal may say differently and he IS Lakota and I'm only an adopted member of the Lakota! But, from all I have ever heard from the Lakota people, they say their Strange Man wasn't into scalping! I haven't read Joe's book! Tasunka Witko was humble and didn't like to boast! He let others speak for him! Thanks for the video! Tasubka Witko remains an icon of the Lakota People!
Thanks for the pronunciation. I learn a lot by reading which makes some of those nuances difficult. I remember looking up pronunciations online and finding both but I am rather confident you are very correct. The Gratten Massacre so interesting with all the context that abounds. I actually thought after making the video that I should do one on that specific incident. There are so many watershed moments between native groups and the Americans and this one and Bascom affair with the Apache just stick out as a direct decline into violence. Marshall’s book is really good. It’s told in a narrative format that would lead me to think there is some added drama either from him or undocumented legend but it’s worth sitting down with. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for doing this! I love you channel's name and it's content. Oral history not written does have credence and I hope science, etc (western) may one day at least consider it. Where did they originate from? Ive read from the Mongolian empire 13,000 years ago (y.dryas). Do a segment on the Dineh and its mythical story of how we came to be in this 4 Corner area. Just out of nowhere we just appeared amongst the anasazi possibly driven them to the cliffs and we adopted them including mosts tribes in the area. My aunt has many stories and because we live so close to the hopi there are interactions due to trade. Well one day while visiting her friends in Oraibi during a meeting in the village, an elderly hopi woman had said "The dineh/navajos didnt conquer us with bullets! They conquered us with their Semen!" Or id like to say instead of semen I prefer Charm or our personality but everyone understood. Politics can get in the way of relations by boundaries and resources. But we've always had good relations with our talented and spiritual neighbors. My grandfather having four diner clans told me on many occasions that he was Hopi!
he was Crazy horse the 3rd I didn't know that. Also wasn't sitting bull killed by his own people ? And didn't he also see it in a vision or am I misremembering?
He was at least the third Crazy Horse. Sources vary and a lot of the information comes much later from people who were interviewed into the 1900s. Danielle Bolelli from the History on Fire Podcast does a really good multi-series break down on Crazy Horse. Historians are confident in a lot of big picture details but small ones vary quite a bit. Sitting Bull was killed a decade or so later but in a eerily similar manner. Like Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull was a threat and was probably going to be killed sooner or later anyway. One of the deputies who shot him during his arrest on the reservation was a Native American. One of the issues for a lot of the Native American groups is that there was very little cohesion between tribes and leaders, even among the same people. In the trail of tears for example, a minority of Cherokee leaders essentially sold out the rest and agreements were made with the U.S. government that pertained to all Cherokee even though most did not agree. A similar thing will happen with the Lakota where certain bands are willing to sell the Black Hills or move to reservations while others more aggressively hold out. While on reservation some play the game and become law enforcement or at least work with law enforcement. Some viewed those working with the government as traitors. I’ll withhold judgment, its possible their motives were not selfish and they saw it as the best option for their people. If Sitting Bull had a similar vision, I’m not aware of it but vision quests were common.
@@datesanddeadguys I like to think about how they could've won but it seems like losing was just inevitable too many factors against them . The railroad ,bad treaties ,small pox , buffalo slaughter, lack of technology. Among other things .
For the plains Indians Buffalo slaughter and a lack of cohesion within their institutions stick out to me. There are horror stories of starvation as a result of all their food being killed. And unfortunately there is a thing within small honor cultures where they tend to be too trusting. It makes sense, when your word is your value you have to be honest. more politically savvy actors take advantage.
Great information well presented. Please leave the maps and other exhibits up a bit longer so we can study them. I found myself rewinding numerous times to study them. Many thanks mister white man.
I read somewhere that the word Crazy was misinterpreted when translated to English. His name was more akin to Spirited Horse as he was skillful at training horses.
Mt great great grandmother was a German immigrant and was captured by the Lakota Sioux a warrior called tall horse and he took her as his wife and he was in the battle with Custer and the 7th cavalry I wish I could find more about them
I tell you, whistle in the woods one time and bam....You end up never dying by these bullet, arrows or blades. The Ghost dance will enlighten you whether you're privy to doing it or not.
it was an arrow in his leg, they fought the people who live in grass lodges, probably Omaha. he was given a growing up name previous to this by his father of ,His horse looking. but nobody used it but still called him curly. Read CRAZY HORSE< STRANGE MAN OF THE OGLALA by Marie Sandoz. his story as told to her by He dog, Black elk his cousin and other friends and those who knew him.
The whole family name is "Man Whose Enemy Is Afraid Of His Horses," which is shortened as you indicate and also just to "Man Afraid" (which is rather silly).
@@joannleichliter4308 Yes, this I already know but Crazy Horse and (Young Man) were very close as you know. My late Father once owned a personal small pipe of Man who are Afraid of his Horse's (Senior Father) of Young Man Afraid of his Horses along with a cermony pipe once owned by Red Cloud himself as he (Red Cloud) did have a few pipes in his life time..My late Father (Harry A Cornish) was also VERY close and became an actual Blood Brother to The Black Elk Family ( Ben Black Elk ). (Who I personally met as a child in the 1970's at his personal home) my father was warmly embraced and honored by the LAKOTA Sioux People. I grew up in the Black Hills/Rapid City Area as a child and a young man..My father was laid to rest with a Traditional Honorary Blanket in The Black Hills National Cemetery just outside Sturgis.
I am part Oglala Lakota and it was said that Crazy Horse could tuck his hair under a hat, dressed as a white man, and could ride right into a fort and go about unnoticed.
I believe it he was one of the most amazing humans that ever walked the earth
He knew how to use a telegraph. He had worked as an operator for a while.
@@timothynechville8326WOW. That is amazing, I had never heard that before. He was a great man.
read the book by Mari Sandoz called Crazy Horse: Strange Man of the Oglalas. Very good.
When he did, they said “you look like a fine outstanding young man I think you'll do…”
So he took off his hat & said "Imagine that? Huh! Me working for you…”
My Lakota ancestors were part of Crazy Horse’s band. My maternal grandparents are buried in the Episcopal cemetery at Wounded Knee.
@tedecker3792 Knowing that gives me chills. WHAT A PEOPLE!!
Not really though they were a bit basic to be fair and if they were "great" warriors then we were better.

Wow! "By being held back by his own people" - very sad ending to a contrary warrior who could only die if brought down by his own people. A cruel double meaning that foretold of this mighty warriors death, whose greatness lies in his humility. To be humble and be great at the same time is truly contrary for a member of a fierce warrior tribe. Crazy Horse pulled it off and made a name for himself - a great name - Crazy Horse!
Exactly what is happening to America today. Being brought down from within.
@m998hmmwv7
Too true friend too true. We could really use a crazy horse today, but I don't think any cavalry is coming to save us.
Great retelling of this legendary warrior. Thanks for the video.
These are the good ole days. I wish we could go back in time. Life was pure back then. Tough, yes, but simpler.
Thank you for the excellent history!

She had a daughter in 1871, named They Are Afraid of Her. They Are Afraid of Her died at age three, likely of cholera and Crazy Horse was devasted.
"Chief Crazy Horse first wife was Black Buffalo Woman. they were married for three to four days according to Oglala tradition. Chief Crazy Horse second wife was Black Shaw Woman, from about 1870 until his death. According to Oglala tradition Chief Crazy Horse married Ellen Larrabee, commonly known as Nellie. Ellen Larrabee (Nellie) parents were Joe Larrabee. Joe Larrabee a French fur trader from Saint Charles on the Missouri River, married a full blood Cheyenne woman called Shawunwinla (Cheyenne Woman) by the Oglala. Nellie married Chief Crazy Horse about July or August and remained for the last part of the last summer of Chief Crazy Horse life until his death."
He was bayonetted by private William Gentles on guard duty at the guardhouse in the struggle there as he was being held by Little big man then a scout and another soldier as they tried to get him inside.
WOW -- The volume of this video really really really improved at 6:18.
I wish that the start of it could have been at that volume.
Thanks for the class, your historical overviews are, well, impressive and helpful. Have you done one on ‘Sitting Bull’ or the Assiniboine Massacre?
Crazy Horse childhood name was funny hair. Full blooded Natives always have straight black hair. His father's childhood name was Worm and you can have more then one childhood name. So after your first time you try to seek a vision you are able to get a traditional name. Most of the time you are given a name from one of your direct ancestors. It's considered a great honor to have a relative passed their name to you.
I'm Métis, and DNA proves I'm a Half Blood. My Ancestors came from Canada though many ended up in different parts of the USA. Our history is different but interesting as well. I'm proud of who I am but I've always admired warrior's such as Crazy Horse,American Horse, Geronimo, and more than I could list here. Great Warrior's who resisted the best they could. Respect.
Good pitchman perciate the vid kid 👌 very interesting 👍 stay healthy Good Luck.
Crazy horse lived the Real adventurous life
Hey man just found your channel I love it Cheyenne Arapahoe EuroAmerican mixed here Lovin it ⚫️🟡⚪️🔴🏹✊🏽
"Manifest destiny is a bitch, and there is gold in those mountains" - Americans policy for the west during 19th century LMAO
Cow or no cow that powder keg was going to go off.
Excellent story
Brilliant as always, but I now finding myself saying "Quote, end Quote"😮
Thank you
For a blue eyed Celt from U.K. believe it or not I have what I regard as a Native American name ( well , Uk version 🤣)
Was born at home , my Dad delivered me ( I am 9th child) to save Dads back he raised the Bed with books .
Ha ha ! SOooo not a Native American yet have a fitting name , My name is “ Born on books”. My Dad told that story whenever I was introduced to anyone 🤣
Great warrior. He fought for freedom and justice
🔥
Braveheart's kindred spirit!
Great job keep speaking the truth
All the books I read from crazy horse , red cloud , black elk , battle of the greasy grass . Crazy Horse had always adorned a single Feather from a Red Tail Hawk . Just as the Red tail Hawk that guided his vision. Yet in the video you said it was from a falcon 🤔🧐
A Red Tailed Hawk is a Falcon technically.
Because of some dreams I have had I felt that my Viking Ancestor mixed with the Lacota and eventually Crazy Horse was born with the light hair. Before I knew the story of Him, I was dreaming of a horse that goes careening towards the end of land with two teardrops preceeding it from its eyes. In the dream I cried and said "If only we knew what this horse knows we too would RUSH to the end of land." ( we would turn away from the material world to the realm of Spirit) Our will would be only the will of the Creator. Our lower nature eternally linked to our higher nature sacrificing for the love of God.
Good stuff.
Hey friend. Love your stuff. Could you do one on Tecumseh?
I all ready know. He was CRAZY .
You are mistaken in the bravery test. The third person to touch a downed enemy was considered the bravest. The first and second person were touching a man who was still in a daze from falling. However by the time the third person touched him, he was considered to have regained his senses. Therefore the third person was in the most danger, and the bravest for touching an enemy, without striking him.
outstanding even I didnt know that
Really wow
Great job please do some stories of my people the Choctaws
Breezy BeEazy The Wise Warrior 💯 Cha oha' ✌️
“…cause we’re in my thunder dream a**hole, they can’t see us” 9:09
THAN YOU for stating that there is no known photograph of Tasunka Witko! For future reference, it isn't Broo-lay, it's simply Brool! Nothing special, just a simple one-syllable word! Also, for what it's worth, Conquering Bear wouldn't give up the cow killer because he was from another band and was a GUEST in the village and, therefore, according to Lakota custom and law, he could not be given up because it would violate custom! The fact that Gratten, thought the Indians were stupid and their customs and culture had no place on the face of the Earth, he got himself and all his men killed! All due to stupidity and a lack of common humanity! Also, Tasunka Witko wasn't known for scalping his victims! He really wasn't into that! Joe Marshal may say differently and he IS Lakota and I'm only an adopted member of the Lakota! But, from all I have ever heard from the Lakota people, they say their Strange Man wasn't into scalping! I haven't read Joe's book! Tasunka Witko was humble and didn't like to boast! He let others speak for him!
Thanks for the video! Tasubka Witko remains an icon of the Lakota People!
Thanks for the pronunciation. I learn a lot by reading which makes some of those nuances difficult. I remember looking up pronunciations online and finding both but I am rather confident you are very correct. The Gratten Massacre so interesting with all the context that abounds. I actually thought after making the video that I should do one on that specific incident. There are so many watershed moments between native groups and the Americans and this one and Bascom affair with the Apache just stick out as a direct decline into violence. Marshall’s book is really good. It’s told in a narrative format that would lead me to think there is some added drama either from him or undocumented legend but it’s worth sitting down with. Thanks for sharing.
It has an accent mark and comes from French past participle of the verb brûler to burn/boil. The e is definitely pronounced.
No, it's brool. You may say Brulé but around here it is pronounced Brool.
Thank you for doing this! I love you channel's name and it's content. Oral history not written does have credence and I hope science, etc (western) may one day at least consider it. Where did they originate from? Ive read from the Mongolian empire 13,000 years ago (y.dryas). Do a segment on the Dineh and its mythical story of how we came to be in this 4 Corner area. Just out of nowhere we just appeared amongst the anasazi possibly driven them to the cliffs and we adopted them including mosts tribes in the area. My aunt has many stories and because we live so close to the hopi there are interactions due to trade. Well one day while visiting her friends in Oraibi during a meeting in the village, an elderly hopi woman had said "The dineh/navajos didnt conquer us with bullets! They conquered us with their Semen!" Or id like to say instead of semen I prefer Charm or our personality but everyone understood. Politics can get in the way of relations by boundaries and resources. But we've always had good relations with our talented and spiritual neighbors. My grandfather having four diner clans told me on many occasions that he was Hopi!
he was Crazy horse the 3rd I didn't know that. Also wasn't sitting bull killed by his own people ? And didn't he also see it in a vision or am I misremembering?
He was at least the third Crazy Horse. Sources vary and a lot of the information comes much later from people who were interviewed into the 1900s. Danielle Bolelli from the History on Fire Podcast does a really good multi-series break down on Crazy Horse. Historians are confident in a lot of big picture details but small ones vary quite a bit.
Sitting Bull was killed a decade or so later but in a eerily similar manner. Like Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull was a threat and was probably going to be killed sooner or later anyway. One of the deputies who shot him during his arrest on the reservation was a Native American. One of the issues for a lot of the Native American groups is that there was very little cohesion between tribes and leaders, even among the same people. In the trail of tears for example, a minority of Cherokee leaders essentially sold out the rest and agreements were made with the U.S. government that pertained to all Cherokee even though most did not agree. A similar thing will happen with the Lakota where certain bands are willing to sell the Black Hills or move to reservations while others more aggressively hold out. While on reservation some play the game and become law enforcement or at least work with law enforcement. Some viewed those working with the government as traitors. I’ll withhold judgment, its possible their motives were not selfish and they saw it as the best option for their people. If Sitting Bull had a similar vision, I’m not aware of it but vision quests were common.
@@datesanddeadguys I like to think about how they could've won but it seems like losing was just inevitable too many factors against them . The railroad ,bad treaties ,small pox , buffalo slaughter, lack of technology. Among other things .
For the plains Indians Buffalo slaughter and a lack of cohesion within their institutions stick out to me. There are horror stories of starvation as a result of all their food being killed. And unfortunately there is a thing within small honor cultures where they tend to be too trusting. It makes sense, when your word is your value you have to be honest. more politically savvy actors take advantage.
@@datesanddeadguys yes , Aztecs as well the lawyer Cortez vs the priest Montezuma .
I read that Sitting Bull said that a bird told him he would be killed by his own people..if im not mistaken
Binging all the Native American stories
Youre a badass sir
Did you ever make the death of Crazy Horse video? I would love a follow up here.
Great information well presented. Please leave the maps and other exhibits up a bit longer so we can study them. I found myself rewinding numerous times to study them. Many thanks mister white man.
I read somewhere that the word Crazy was misinterpreted when translated to English. His name was more akin to Spirited Horse as he was skillful at training horses.
Mt great great grandmother was a German immigrant and was captured by the Lakota Sioux a warrior called tall horse and he took her as his wife and he was in the battle with Custer and the 7th cavalry I wish I could find more about them
I tell you, whistle in the woods one time and bam....You end up never dying by these bullet, arrows or blades.
The Ghost dance will enlighten you whether you're privy to doing it or not.
it was an arrow in his leg, they fought the people who live in grass lodges, probably Omaha. he was given a growing up name
previous to this by his father of ,His horse looking. but nobody used it but still called him curly. Read CRAZY HORSE< STRANGE MAN OF THE OGLALA by Marie Sandoz. his story as told to her by He dog, Black elk his cousin and other friends and those who knew him.
Achilles Horse
Just watched geronimo episode please do chief black hawk next!
You didn't mention Crazy Horses Friendship with "Young Man Afraid of his Horses"....
The whole family name is "Man Whose Enemy Is Afraid Of His Horses," which is shortened as you indicate and also just to "Man Afraid" (which is rather silly).
@@joannleichliter4308 Yes, this I already know but Crazy Horse and (Young Man) were very close as you know. My late Father once owned a personal small pipe of Man who are Afraid of his Horse's (Senior Father) of Young Man Afraid of his Horses along with a cermony pipe once owned by Red Cloud himself as he (Red Cloud) did have a few pipes in his life time..My late Father (Harry A Cornish) was also VERY close and became an actual Blood Brother to The Black Elk Family ( Ben Black Elk ). (Who I personally met as a child in the 1970's at his personal home) my father was warmly embraced and honored by the LAKOTA Sioux People. I grew up in the Black Hills/Rapid City Area as a child and a young man..My father was laid to rest with a Traditional Honorary Blanket in The Black Hills National Cemetery just outside Sturgis.

Hey bud your audio is needing some fix, echo is easy by adding audio absorbing material. Try adding an eq so you can adjust your highs and lows. ^5
