Our grandfathers defeated Custer at the Greasy Grass (Battle of the Little Bighorn). The warrior on the left is Scarleg, who shot Custer twice after Quick Bear knocked him flat with a war club. Hump 2 (horseback) was the son of Hump and one of Crazy Horse's first cousins. Hump 2 was also at the Greasy Grass and shot in the leg. The bullet passed through his leg and killed his horse. When the horse fell, it pinned Hump 2's leg. He was saved by two of our warriors pulling him out from underneath his horse. Additional details can be found our the book "Crazy Horse the Lakota Warrior's Life and Legacy".

This George Catlin painting is of our grandfather Corn. Corn and his village was saved by Old Man Crazy Horse aka Waglula from a Crow raiding party but not before they killed his wife. In gratitude he offered Old Man Crazy Horse his daughters Iron Between Horns and Kills Enemy. A third daughter demanded to go with her sisters and her name was Red Leggins. Red Leggins is one of our grandmothers. We never preface a grandparent with "great". That is the European way, not ours. When Old Man Crazy Horse showed up at his village, his wife at the time, Rattling Blanket Woman was taken back. She had given Old Man Crazy Horse a son named Cha-oha or "One With Nature" who would grow up to take the name Crazy Horse. Rattling Blanket Woman and Old Man Crazy Horse had been trying to conceive for four years since Cha-oha's birth, but to no avail. Rattling Blanket thought she was being replaced and ended up hanging herself. She died when Cha-oha was just four winters old. https://reelcontact.com/collections/books/products/crazy-horse-the-lakota-warriors-life-and-legacy-paperback

A colorized photo of Mary Traversie Dupree Talks (far right). She was one of our grandmothers and was sent to Hampton College in Hampton, Virginia as a young girl. When she came back to the Rez they made her a school teacher. She ended up running the whole school at age 17. We are not sure who the women to her right are but the little girl is Amy Talks Clown, who married Crazy Horse's nephew Edward. She raised Floyd Clown and was grandmother to Doug War Eagle and Don Red Thunder. She was also an interpreter for the government at the Cheyenne River Rez. Through her service as an interpreter, she was able to keep the Agency from finding out how we were related to Crazy Horse as there was still a lot of anger towards him and his family even after all those years. One of Crazy Horse's brothers Makah (Peter Wolf - his Agency name) was murdered a year after this photo when in anger he admitted being Crazy Horse's brother over the Agency's policy of selling cattle intended for our tribe to local ranchers. The photo was taken around 1917. More information is available in our book at this link: https://reelcontact.com/collections/books/products/crazy-horse-the-lakota-warriors-life-and-legacy-paperback

TOUCH THE CLOUD, Crazy Horse's first cousin, colorized photo. He was there with Crazy Horse at the end. He helped carry him into the adjutant's office with Hump 2 and Spotted Eagle to die in peace after he was stabbed at Fort Robinson. He also carried him out in a buffalo robe over his shoulder in a night ceremony right under the noses of the guards while the elders smudged a deer, cut up to resemble Crazy Horse's body also wrapped in a heavy buffalo robe to fool the soldiers into thinking his body was still under their watch. Their mistake was they granted us a short time to mourn in private. We took the body in a wagon to bury him. Some Indian police later followed us. So we took two wagons. One drove into the creek, leaving no tracks, and the other went a different direction that was easy to follow. The police followed the easy to follow wagon and found a lone driver and empty wagon. By the time they recovered we had already buried his body in place hidden from the world. There are many more stories in our oral history book "Crazy Horse the Lakota Warrior's Life and Legacy" at this link: https://reelcontact.com/collections/books/products/crazy-horse-the-lakota-warriors-life-and-legacy-paperback

The Cheyenne head men Little Wolf (left) and Dull Knife (right) married into each other's families. One of Dull Knife's daughters, Otter Woman 2, married one of Crazy Horse's first cousins Talks About Him. Otter Woman 2 and Talks About Him lived in the northern camps (aka Cheyenne River and Standing Rock reservations) when Dull Knife escaped from Fort Robinson in 1879. He stayed with his daughter and Talks About Him. Later he enrolled in the Cheyenne River Rez with his wife as Louis and Louisa Knife. His body was moved in 1917 and he is now rests at Lame Deer on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation. The Talks About Him grandchildren had their name shortened by the government to Talks. Amy Talks was Floyd's mother and Doug and Don's grandmother. This story is in our book "Crazy Horse the Lakota Warrior's Life and Legacy" at this link: https://reelcontact.com/collections/books/products/crazy-horse-the-lakota-warriors-life-and-legacy-paperback

When our people die and go to the other side we put their bodies on a scaffold. Their relatives who still walk the earth, speak to them while on these scaffolds. Sometimes our relatives that are still here set up a tipi to stay in to spend extra time with them. Our dead usually stayed on the scaffold for 4 days before they were put in the ground with buffalo shoulder bone shovels. The Black Hills is our cemetery. Most of our dead are buried on the tops of these hills. Today there are houses and roads built directly over our dead. We consider the Black Hills sacred because it is where our ancestors are buried. That is why we continue to fight for their return. At one time the government was going to make it the Crazy Horse Agency but when they killed him, they reneged.

A photo our author took at dawn on June 25, 2003 looking at the Little Bighorn River from near Reno-Benteen hill. A heavy mist hides the river and surrounding area from view. The same was true on June 25, 1876 when Custer did not see all our horses and village before he attacked. The Creator told us through Sitting Bull's vision that the soldiers would die because they had no ears for us. So the Creator helped us via the weather into having him expose himself to us by underestimating our size. It fulfilled Sitting Bull's vision and gave our people a victory.
