The Betrayal of Crazy Horse

[@clayton_1000rr]

It’s a shame that so many of the bravest figures in history, have died at the hands of cowards.

[@mikerelva6915]

History is what is written by the friends of winners. As Norm McDonald would say "isn't it weird the good guys have won every single war?". Take everything with a grain of salt, we will really never know what happened and who was the hero or coward. Hundreds of true heroes have been painted as cowards and countless evil men painted as the good guys.

[@DavidGarcia-h5l]

You stand CORRECTED!!.. far from cowardice.. accurately speaking.. "IGNORANCE "..is a plague.. since the beginning...

[@JesterLxxix]

As a oglala lakota growing up on the pine ridge rez, we were told stories of sitting bull, red cloud, and others. But to me, Crazy Horse always stood out from the others. He's highly respected and cherished among our people. All lakota boys wanted to be a warrior like crazy horse growing up.

[@brianwhite8593]

That must of been something to know since he was a teenager that eventually his own people would betray him but still did his best for them until the end 😢

[@serenoart]

You are also a really good storyteller. The way that you introduced the story sitting by the fire with that music playing really draws a person into the tale.

[@DamonNomad82]

The death of Crazy Horse was a truly tragic end to the life of a brave warrior and shrewd leader. I visited the site of Crazy Horse's killing at Camp Robinson, now Fort Robinson State Park, in the northwestern corner of Nebraska on four occasions as a child and a young adult and have many fond memories of the park as it is in modern times.

[@dnwlogisticsllc8609]

I served twice in Iraq and observed a number of key leader engagements and you are absolutely right.

My great grandmother was a child survivor of wounded knee. She was found in the barn of the German immigrant family Gosser, in Northern Nebraska, just across the South Dakota line. She was fair haired and light skinned like many Oglala Lakota, including Crazy Horse. They informally adopted her, rather than turning her over to the Calvary, whom they thought would kill her.

[@butterfliesarefreetofly6964]

@@wiseguysoutdoors2954what was your great grandmothers name? All the names of the survivors of Wounded Knee are on a huge headstone at Wounded Knee which is why Im asking her name.

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

​@@butterfliesarefreetofly6964 she was not a known survivor, because the Gosser family unofficially adopted her. She never gave her Lakota name, but only told my grandmother on her death bed that she was Oglala Lakota and she had survived the massacre at wounded knee and was rescued and raised by the Gosser's. Being she was fair haired and light skinned, she passed as white. The Gosser's had no daughter in any of the previous censuses and, suddenly the next one had a 10 year old daughter. They feared that if they had turned her over to the Army or Indian Agency, she would be killed. So, there is no record, except for oral history, which is how the Oglala Lakota passed theirs on, and the fact that they never had a daughter, then suddenly had a 10 year old daughter out of thin air.

[@travishendrix7026]

There always seems to be those remarkable men who loose their lives unjustly when humanity moves from one season to another. Crazy Horse paid this price in his time. Betrayal is as evil as it gets.

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

Your military experience gives you a good sense of the difficulty people have when in conflict with different cultures. The Indian Wars are a textbook example of this. Excellent video!

[@scinanisern9845]

When Crazy Horse was young he had a dream. He spoke to his father about the dream and was pronounced a Thunder Dreamer. He dreamed he was a warrior. He rode with other warriors and killed many but was never harmed. He grew famous for his bravery and his success in winning battle after battle and always being immune from harm. Then one day as he rode into battle indians rose from the ground, dragged him from his horse and dragged him into the ground.

[@tashunkawitco8484]

Wasn't that called the red Reed Vision I believe his family was spiritual class why car version of priest or I prefer the term holy man but he became a shirt wearer which was a great honor amongst Warriors I believe there were only five at one time and his family were traditionally not from the warrior class but I think you're referring to the red Reed Vision. He has been my hero since childhood a great warrior very very spiritual man I do not know if it's true but I have heard that he was very much in love with red Cloud's daughter butt red cloud has given her to another man to marry set alarm for talk that he loved her since childhood my son lives in South Dakota now and we went up there last year during the winter you can almost see the Dakota on horses on those Rolling Hills and it was so cold with that wind blowing it really gives you a great respect for how tough they were and their amazing ability to survive and that kind of an environment and those kinds of elements because it was definitely much colder back then they were truly a great race of people and they still are I wish that they would release Leonard Peltier from prison he has been in there very long time and I think the federal government just use them to make an example out of him the man should be released he has been in prison far too long

Your remarks around the Mark Twain quote resonated with other stories I have heard from Cultural Officers and interpreters stationed overseas in the “war on terror”. Thank you for your perspective, because it has the ring of truth.

[@JasonBourne-b8s]

Unfortunately that "ring of truth" often becomes the "ring of fire" for the one speaking. But, hell with it. Never did like the cold.🤣 👽👻🦂😇

[@JackDiamond21]

I'm a Dakota-Sioux and the oral history is that, Red Cloud didn't want Crazy Horse to have any influence. So he Crazy Horse taken care of, they also have personal beef between them. A relative of Red Cloud, called No Water shot Crazy Horse over a woman back in the day. And Red Cloud has harboured a dislike of Crazy Horse ever since.

[@wiseguysoutdoors2954]

Red Cloud was a once great man, who, later in life, disgraced himself to all Lakota people!!

[@tashunkawitco8484]

Crazy horse has been a hero of mine since childhood I have also heard that he loved red Cloud's daughter very much since childhood I've always wondered if that was true and I've heard that he stayed out kind of by himself a lot that he was a very spiritual man he came in when his people needed him almost like spiritually he could sense when they needed him. I'm glad there's a memorial for him at first I thought they were carving up the Black Hills to do it and that would be a great disrespect to the Dakota people since the Black Hills are so sacred to them I am told that is they came up from out of the Earth. You come from a very proud noble people

[@JackDiamond21]

@@tashunkawitco8484 read the books, The journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History by Joseph Marshall III. And, Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas by Mari Sandoz. The book by Joseph Marshall III he talks to people who saw Crazy Horse when he was alive. So it's interviews by people who lived and fought with him. I'd recommend that book above all others cause it's stories from the Lakota who lived with and saw Crazy Horse when he was alive.

[@alwaysfourfun1671]

I forgot to thank you for your nice documentation. I had once read the account of dr. McGillyguddy on the death of Crazy Horse. You have added more detail, especially about the confusion with the people early 1877 and the many sentiments that ran rampant. The connection to the next 1877 military campaign against the Ni Mii Puu, Nez Perce, who were expelled from their lands, as they were hunted by the USA army, with the aid of native scouts of other tribes. Many conquered natives were looking for a job in the army as an adventurous alternative to boring reservation life. I have great respect for the present-day people in their success to maintain their cultural identity in spite of all the hardships imposed by their oppressors.

[@Sonic-dogmagic]

Crazy horse fulfilled his mission in life. It is said he was very spiritual and could foresee the future.

[@Jay_Hall]

It is all so very sad, my heart bleeds for them. I have walked the Dull knife battle site on the Red Fork many times, mostly all alone,,the Spirits are heavy there, but it is a beautiful place, but much death and suffering. :(

[@nialloneill5097]

You are probably sad, for you was probably there. A sad time, not least as it followed a string of diverse, evil attacks amidst the great invasion by the white man on the native red populus. This sadness is deepened by the need to worship the Almighty, something many plains tribes had managed to do, whilst the white men came out of greed, incited by Satan, Thus, there were many mature spirits who incarnated within the tribes, as they had been living under the guise and protection of the Great Spirit, the Will of God. These mature human spirits were being polished in their development, ready for the last acts of the Great Judgement, which constitute the terrifying events of the Apocalypse, when the light souls will be separated from the majority of the dark souls. This deepens the grief and sadness of the events of this time, which akin to the times of Tecumseh, were full of bitter experiences for the red man, but this suffering proffers great rewards from a spiritual perspective within the Wheel of Life, which includes reincarnation in new lives. Thus, people are led along through a series of lives, and events, to prepare them in their development, and oft we find ourselves fighting alongside friends of old, and against enemies of old too. This story and these times fill me with great sadness, for I was there, as Crazy Horse and before that as Tecumseh, fighting for the retention of the 'old ways', which served the Great Mystery and Great Spirit. After dying, I was fortunate to reincarnate shortly afterwards into a life of service for the Great, or Holy, Spirit, Who had traversed many spiritual planes to come to the earth at the request of Jesus, for He is at the same time, the Son of Man! He was born unto the German lands in the year of the Little Big Horn battle, and shortly after I joined Him, but His beneficent work for mankind was destroyed by the Nazis, again tools of the darkness, which wishes to destroy as many of mankind as is inhumanely possible. This is all part of the greater war between light and darkness. Men are meant to mature and return to their one true home, a place called Paradise, in the blessed fields of the eternal planes, not so high up compared to other luminous planes, but nevertheless unusually beautiful when compared to the earth, which pales in comparison in relation to its beauty Thus, eternal life is on offer, but Satan and his vassels which to destroy men, so now only around 20% can make it through the separation of mankind, which will be done from 2028 as we enter the Apocalypse, a time of intense karmic reaapings, for so as a man sows, so must he reap.

[@nialloneill5097]

And most men have sown much evil, hence the forthcoming tragedies, which I have seen in visions for a long time, including both this life, and that of Crazy Horse! Most men will die, although some may return later, when the earth has been cleansed by the nature spirits after the end of the Apocalypse. These nature spirits rebelled against the white men of the time during the early 1800's, and the New Madrid earthquake describes some of these strange happenings, including the appearance of a Comet. A comet is driving the Judgement, as it contains power from high up, and follows the course prescribed by the Great Spirit, and its effects are being seen now, but they will increase from 2028, when the US will be nuked. Then within 5 years, WW3 commences. I predicted the Ukraine war well beforehand, through guidance, so these dates will likely be correct. N Korea are itching to destroy the US, and I sense that they will initiate these dark times, which have been prophesied amongst various culture, repeatedly, for over 2000 years. Men must make good what they lack spiritually, and atone for their past mistakes, by living a simple life, which is guided by the Great Spirit. The earth will one day be covered in verdant, enchanting forests again, full of nature spirits, who will help men, as they did long ago, to show them how to live aright.. The Star (Comet) will materialise eventually, and after some time encircling the earth, it will stop over a Holy Mountain, which is where I worked alongside the Great Spirit, in the 1900's. I return there in a few years, to complete something that should and could have ended, if men had supported the Great Spirit, when He was here. Now the Judgement will be fat worse, and more terrifying, sadly. Hell on earth!!!

I visited Camp Robinson and it seems so desolate. It's hard to imagine it as it was in the 1870s with hundreds of Indians and troops going about their business. And the replica buildings seem so small when compared to newer structures. If you're more than 6 feet tall you'd have to duck to enter any door.

[@DamonNomad82]

I didn't notice the low doorways the first three times I visited the state park that now occupies the site of Camp Robinson (now called Fort Robinson). Granted, I was still a child on those occasions. On my most recent visit, I had reached my adult height of 6'5, so I had to be careful going through doors! The strangest thing is that there is another fort from the same era that is located at the opposite end of the state of Nebraska (Fort Omaha) that has also been preserved, though as a community college campus rather than as a state park. If it hadn't been much greener than Fort Robinson, I'd have sworn it was the same place based on the construction and layout of the buildings.

[@joan8178]

If his body isn't in Pine Ridge somewhere then he is lost to time. He could be buried anywhere from Camp Sheridan all the way back to Pine Ridge.
