The WILD Story of How Crazy Horse EARNED His Name 

@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. 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 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…”

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.

The video opens up talking about how this was a period of warring tribes.

You're white as fuck. Is Elizabeth Warren your mother? You Pretendians need a boot party.

Be proud

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 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?

Facts live the wild west stuff

I agree

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)

It makes me pessimistic about laying my life down for others.

Lots of hours. But it means a lot that people have enjoyed them.

outstanding even I didnt know that

Really wow

Enchanted Horse is a pretty good rendering.

Cow or no cow that powder keg was going to go off.

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.

Achilles Horse

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. Last mic I bought sucked. Bought a Boya mic this morning. I hope my sound issues will finally be solved.

Braveheart's kindred spirit!

Uncle Donny?

A Red Tailed Hawk is a Falcon technically.

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.

@@briancornish5857 You are truly fortunate, Brian.

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

I appreciate it. Working hard to figure out some of the nuance of video making. Hopefully o get stuff like that resolved.

@@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!.!

It’s about native Americans not Catholics and we didn’t shove our religion on you ppl

No
