Here is article about Red Horse, and his drawings from his own memory of the Battle at Greasy Grass. His drawings are kept at Smithsonian Museum. www.amacad.org/publication/face-battle-without-rules-war-lessons-red-horse-battle-little-bighorn

I have to get back to the house and ❤

THANK YOU FOR SHARING,

Heard around that a woman killed Custer and thats what it would symbolize.

Thx for posting

Yaaasss Sis! That made my heart sing!💫💗

That was so awesome

Natives captured Army sabre swords BEFORE the US Civil War. After the Civil War, not many US cavalry carried sabres into battle, unless ordered to. Custer told his 600 troops to leave their sabres at the fort. *** {{{ when the 7th Cavalry set out as part of General Alfred H. Terry’s column in the 1876 campaign to clear the northern plains of Indians, they left their sabers behind at Fort Abraham Lincoln to travel lighter; this was in keeping with common post-Civil War U.S. Cavalry procedure. Thus, they went into battle with only their single-shot, breechloading carbines (Springfield Model 1873-which was prone to jamming with extended use) and Colt revolvers, the latter supplied with only 24 rounds per man. Custer planned to envelop the Indian camp in the Little Bighorn Valley, so the Indians could be rounded up to be taken to the reservations. To do this, Custer divided his 600-man force into 3 battalions. The initial fighting action was the 2nd battalion, under Major Marcus Reno, charging up the valley into the massive Indian camp-with up to ten thousand Indians there. The size of the Indian camp, and the fact that the troopers did not have their sabers, made Reno unwilling to make close contact with the Indians. Despite initially achieving surprise, the troopers were continuously forced back for this same reason. As the retreat became a rout back up to the hill line, the pursuing Indians operated as light cavalry, quick to maneuver and exploit weaknesses. In addition to rifles-many of them repeaters-the Indians carried clubs, lances and similar for when they got in close to their enemy, which the troopers would have countered with their sabers, had they brought them. }}} So, Custer's battalion, further up the river valley was quickly overwhelmed by vast numbers and destroyed. Col. Reno's battalion merged with Col. Benteen's battalion in a defensive formation to survive the day. Sitting Bull gave orders to break camp at night to get a head start toward Canada.

@F Whitewolf The Ponca also were pushed south by the Lakota expansion long ago. Many Native warriors from Greasy Grass were interviewed in the years after. Lakota were very specific about who counted first coup, and who followed next. It was 2 Lakota men that struck Custer down. And Custer did split his force into 3rd's to get the Glory for himself. Even the Crow scouts told him there were too many.

@F Whitewolf Yes, the Pawnee were security for the railroad construction, their boss was "Pawnee Bill". A couple times they acted out battles for railroad passengers. This is where Buffalo Bill Cody got the idea for his Wild West shows. Red Cloud forced a new Treaty of Ft. Laramie in 1868, but it was Custer that took miners into Black Hills in violation of that treaty. Sad history, can't let it repeat. I walked the battlefield in 2013 on my way to Lame Deer powwow. I studied up before I went there, and researched more since. I filter out a lot of junk opinions and Custer glorifiers. But there is a consistent story that begins with Custer's arrogance, and many interviews of warriors & soldiers overlap same info. All the tribes were at Greasy Grass because they had no food on the reservations. It was same reason that started the Dakota Uprising.

@F Whitewolf I went to Chief's 4th of July Powwow to get videos for my KZread. Young Spirit was host. Mystic River with late Kenny Merrick Jr won singing contest. Fort Peck Sioux was there, Highway 212. They had an All-Cheyenne northern traditional dance. Morgan had her jingle special. They did the Clown Dance, that was fun to watch. Bearcomesout family feeding us. Thankful for A great weekend I'll never forget.

I miss the pw's after moving from Cali to TX. I miss those road trips, seeing the peeps, hearing live drums, bird singers. I even filmed Polynesian events. Even OR & WA, people knew me. Got to TX during Covid year, could not get out much, find new venues. Wanted to buy small RV, then Biden began yakkin' about electrics, I put it off. So now I check-in, many pw's are streaming, don't want other big cameras around. I think my era ended, I left it all on the field in Cali/AZ. My KZread was never monetized. I fought Google to remove ads they put on my vids, but they say "song content" allows them. Yes, songs, but ancestral & cultural, not pop music. Well, I fought uphill battle, both ways, in the snow, did pretty good. Not over yet...

This man interviewed survivors of Greasy Grass, as many others. He did not publish until 1957 to protect Natives from revenge attack. US Congress had falsely made Custer a hero back then, even a martyr. The Army tried to stop the Ghost Dance, and got Sitting Bull killed trying to arrest him. Then two weeks after his death, the massacre at Wounded Knee happened. www.americanheritage.com/man-who-killed-custer#1

Thanks for the history lesson

cool to see that they are real ones , and not the fakes

Passed on from a friend: Ogichidaakwag ❤ ✊🏾 “If you share this, copy and paste history. It’s important. Cheyenne women wear silver drops on their belt to honor the Cheyenne woman who killed Custer, Buffalo Calf Road Woman. Lena Nells danced with a sword at the 2020 Governors Powwow in a Women's Veteran Special and this is what it reminded me of... As the Cheyenne story goes: A Cheyenne woman approached Custer, grabbed his saber, and stabbed him, eventually killing him. She told the General “he had it coming.” As Custer lay dead on the ground, Cheyenne and Arapaho women used their awls to stab his ears. It is told that the women chanted “we do this to you so that you will listen to our people in the next world.” The women referred to Custer as Attacker at Dawn because of his role in the Washita Massacre of 1868, in which he attacked Black Kettle’s camp and captured 53 women and children. Many women were raped as their village burned. The woman who stabbed Custer claimed his saber. In the days and years to follow, she wore it honorably hanging from her leather belt. This woman was highly respected by all for her warrior deed. After her death, many Cheyenne women continue to honor and remember her by wearing a silver drop on their side attached to their leather belts. [source: Gordon Yellowman, Cheyenne]”

Excellent 👍

Can anyone tell me if Blazing Bear is Cheyenne or Arapaho, or another tribe ? There is such beauty in their songs and drumming.......

What is your point??? did anyone here ever say the Cheyenne invented the sword? No, they simply said its apart of their culture because a woman killed Custer with his own sword hence, when a Cheyenne woman is dancing she has a long piece of leather and sliver that looks like a sword, attached to her belt to honor the woman who killed custer.
