I have books, I have books, and this is not, uhm, this is not the same account, right? This is different. Them killing themselves. So, I know that, but, well I'm talking about this book right now, so I'm going with it.

I saw one Sioux walking slowly toward the gulch going away from where were the soldiers. He wobbled dizzily as he moved along. He fell down, got up, fell down, got up again. As he passed near

To where I was, I saw that his whole lower jaw was shot away.

The sight of him made me sick. I had to vomit. I did not know him, and I did not learn whether he died or not.

The shots quit coming from the soldiers. Warriors who had crept close to them began to call out that all the white men were dead.

All the Indians then jumped up and rushed forward. All the boys and the old men on their horses came tearing into the crowd. The air was full of smoke and dust. Everybody was greatly excited. It looked like thousands of dogs might look if they were mixed together in a fight.

All of the Indians were saying that these soldiers went so crazy they killed themselves. I do not know. I could not see them. But I believe they did so. Again, so he doesn't even know what the real deal is there. But like I said, what we do know is that not one of them lived. I took one scalp.

As I went walking and leading my horse among the dead, I observed one face that interested me. The dead man had a long beard growing from both sides of his face and extending several inches below the chin. He also had a full mustache.

All of the beard hair was of a light yellow color, as I now recall it. Most of the soldiers had beard growing in different lengths, but this was the longest one I saw among them. I think the dead man may have been 30 or more years old.

Here is a new kind of scalp, I said to a companion. I skinned one side of the face and half of the chin so as to keep the long beard yet on the part removed.

I got an arrow shaft and tied the strange scalp to the end of it. This I carried in hand as I went looking further. Somebody told me Noisy Walking was badly wounded. That was another Indian name, Noisy Walking. I went to where he was said to be.

Noisy walking had been hit by three different bullets.

One young Cheyenne took something from a dead soldier just after all of them had been killed. He was puzzled by it. Some others looked at it. I was with them.

It was made of white metal and had glass on one side. On this side were marks of some kind.

He got it up towards his ear. Then he put it up close. It's alive, he said. Others put it to their ears and listened. I put it to mine. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, it was saying. We talked about its use. We generally agreed that it was a soldier's special medicine. Many Indians came and wondered about it.

The young man decided to keep it for his own medicine. So they found a watch on one of the soldiers. A little wind up pocket watch. To me this was just a really good example of, of the

You know, the cultural differences. They didn't, they'd never seen a watch before. And, and so they were surprised and demon understand what it was or that it was not actually alive. It was just a mechanical, a watch.

Back to the book. Noisy walking died during the night after the great battle.

Six Cheyenne's had been killed. Another man, open belly, was badly wounded and was expected to die. He was about 30 years old, but he had neither wife nor children. The six dead were lame white man, limber bones, black bear, noisy balking, hump nose, and whirlwind.

And then after that battle, during the afternoon, it was learned that yet another band of white men were coming up the Little Bighorn Valley. All the young men wanted to fight.

A council of chiefs was held. They decided we should continue in our same course and not fight any soldiers if we could get away without doing so. All of the Indians then got ready to move. Probably a smart move.

So then after that they have, they go to this area that's called Greasy Grass. And there they have a little, a little war dance, a little sort of a, I guess you'd call it a ceremony or a celebration.

No women took part in the dancing. Many of them had sore legs from morning cuts and when they lose their, their husband, they wo...

Our dance was not carried very far into the night. It was mostly a short telling of experiencing a counting of coup. My father told, in a few words, what his two sons had done. When he ended the telling of my warrior acts, he said, the name of this son of mine is wooden.

Two bands of Indians began to come together again. The warriors mingled themselves as being one tribe. The women and children and older men of both sets of people moved together up the Tung River. The young men put themselves behind their fleeing people. Somebody said to me, they have captured some women. Your sister ...

I hid my horse in the brush at the foot of the ridge where some warriors were on its top. I walked up there. Many Indians were hidden behind rocks and were shooting towards the soldiers. I chose for myself a place of hiding and did the same. I had my soldier rifle and plenty of cartridges. Many soldiers were coming ac...

So it's interesting that he, he's, doesn't even become bitter towards the soldiers until they do something to his sister. And then all of a sudden he's bitter towards the white men. And it's also important there at the end, you gotta get the high ground.

After this, they kind of settle up the Tong River. And there, I'll go back to the book, we found plenty of buffalo there. We went on west to the upper little bighorn. After camping and hunting there, we went farther to the bighorn at the mouth of Rotten Grass Creek.

We did not stay there long. We returned to Little Bighorn. Most of the last part of the winter was spent in a camp in this valley. All the time during the next few months we had good hunting. Soldiers did not trouble us, nor did we trouble them.

So they're starting to get enticed. They're starting to get enticed by some, by, you know, basically food, tobacco.

Back to the book. The four chiefs came back to us at this powder river camp. White Bull was not with them. They told us he had stayed with the soldiers to scout for them and hunting Indians. This news did not please us. As we looked at it, the surrendering to the soldiers was good if one felt like doing this, but an o...

I was more affected though by other news the chiefs brought. It was concerning my sister Crooked Nose, one of the captives.

When the chiefs were only a part of the first day out and coming back from the fort, somebody followed them to tell them about her. She had been very sad in the heart because of a belief she would never again see her people.

She had felt better when the chiefs came, but when they went away again, she fell into a deep grief. My sorrow was so great. Her sorrow was so great that she had gotten out her hidden six shooter I had given to her and she saw herself dead.

My heart almost stopped beating when I heard about her death this way. She had been a good sister, kind to everybody.

Seven Cheyennes from the agency came.

They said all the Indians there were being well fed, were being well treated in every way. Nobody was being punished in any manner for past conduct and warfare against the soldiers.

So they're getting told basically there's another group. There's, they can surrender at the fort, the army fort, or they can surrender at the, at the Indian agency, which is also controlled by the soldiers. And of course I just read that part about wooden legs sister.

Now as this continues, the decision gets made by the chiefs to surrender.

Actually, at first to find out a little bit more, gather some more intel, sorry. Little Wolf and the other principal chiefs chose to go out to the agency. And then...

And when they hear this, they hear about the food, they hear about the whiskey, they hear about the, the shelter. They decide that the main body of the tribe sets off towards the agency to surrender.

Back to the book, but not all the Cheyenne's were ready yet to surrender at any place. 14 or 15 men, 6 or 7 of them having wives or children, separated off to go westward. White Hawk, a little chief of the elk warriors, was with them.

I joined another band still desiring the most freedom we considered to be ours by right. 34 Cheyennes made up this band, so there's a couple little separate groups that break off and decide they're gonna continue pushing.

And as they're doing that when they get in these smaller groups.

If you can imagine, I mean, just like, uh, any, any group, if you break it down enough, you start to lose your efficiency. And that's what happened with these smaller groups. They just weren't as efficient anymore because they had less people. I mean, you can't catch as many, you can't work in cooperation to hunt buff...

Back to the book, we were having a good many days of hunger. Our horses had plenty of grass, but our own ribs were becoming thin.

Our clothing was wearing out and we could not get enough skins to renew them and keep our beds and our lodges in good order.

We're almost in tatters. The only good article of where I had now was my big white hat I'd captured at the Rosebud battle. A Cheyenne named Yellow Eagle added himself to us. He had been at the agency not before, not long before.

We decided to have him and Whitebird go there and spy out the conditions. They went. In a week or so, they were back among us. Good treatment, plenty of food, blankets, everything. Nobody punished, they reported. We started right away for the agency.

When they split apart into these smaller groups, that was definitely problematic.

And now they go from being out there, kind of on their own, hungry, running out of food, don't have good equipment anymore.
<0>1137<0>3781<0>1366<0>3272<0>3120<0>556<0>1255<0>1062<0>2492<0>1989<0>2007<0>75<0>645<0>1835<0>1882<0>1738<0>2544<0>1491<0>2129<0>2258<0>1738<0>2374<0>2703<0>3307<0>1318<0>3457<0>2187<0>1804<0>3541<0>1198<0>982<0>3541<0>2044<0>2205<0>707<0>2492<0>1989<0>465<0>4037<0>1815<0>2230<0>567<0>1675<0>871<0>3738<0>1989<0>2492...
And somebody, they send somebody to the agency to check it out and they get the report back that there's plenty of food and blankets and warm and all they're gonna do there is go ahead and give up.

So now they, they move and they start heading towards the agency and when they get there, back to the book, it made us all feel good to see hundreds of Indian lodges as we came near to the agency.

Galloped our horses forward. We cheered and fired gunshots into the air. Some soldiers came running out of their tents, but they soon saw we were friendly and only celebrating and notifying our people we had come.

And a, and a white man married to a Cheyenne woman was acting as an interpreter for the soldiers. His name was Roland. But White Hat did not need any interpreter in talking to us. He could make the sign talk so well. After the general handshaking, White Hat said,

We were not expecting this, but we trusted him, so we began to do as he asked.

This is not a recommended course of action. You know, if you're coming in peace, why are you not allowed to keep your weapons? This is not a, this is not a, I do not agree with this scenario.

We had one big chief, Standing Elk, who kept saying it would be better if we should go there, so they're trying to get them to push towards the south, like towards Oklahoma would be, would be Oklahoma.

And they're kind of against it. They don't want to walk anymore. They feel like they, hey look, we came here. We, we were supposed to be here.

And they're saying, oh no, you know, we're gonna, we're gonna move you guys south. And they're all saying, no, we don't want to. So that's what Standing Elk is talking about. So Standing Elk, who kept saying it would be better if we should go there.

I think there were not as many as ten Cheyennes and a whole tribe who agreed with him. There was a feeling that he was talking this way only to make himself a big Indian among the white people.

The white men chiefs would not talk much to any Cheyenne chief but him. They gave him extra presents and treated him as if he were the only tribe, the only chief in the tribe.

He was but one of our 40 tribal big chiefs. One day he went about telling everybody, all right, get ready to move. The soldiers are going to take us from here tomorrow.

Lots of Cheyennes were angry. We had understood that when we surrendered we were to live on our same white river reservation. We had given up our guns and our horses and had quit fighting because of this promise. Now, after we had put ourselves at this great disadvantage, the promise was to be broken. But we could not...

He was a good man, always kind to the Indians. We had to do whatever he said we must do, but he talked good to our chiefs. So all of us were pleased to have him guiding us. He had with him a band of soldiers. I do not know how many, but I think there may have been almost a hundred of them.

Our horses that have been taken away from us at the agency were returned to us. Still many Cheyennes did not own any. Old people who had no animal to ride were provided with them from the soldier herd. Or very old or sick people were allowed to ride in the soldier wagons. Young men who owned no horses had to walk or b...

Was fairly good. And it sounds like they kinda got along with the soldiers at this point.

And here's an example that soldiers hunted with the Indians. All the soldiers were friendly and good to us. They were good shooters and they killed lots of game. They gave us most of the meat. I became specifically friendly with two or three of them.

I like to be with them and they appeared to like me. I went at times to their camp in the evening and visited with them. When we were about halfway along in our journey, I asked one of them, let me take your gun tomorrow. Yes, you may take it. He told me.

So I, I think the reason I, I, I wanted to bring that up is when you get, you know, soldiers and warriors and you put them together and you get rid of the politics, guess what? They get along. Oh, we like shooting, we like hunting. We're warriors. We're gonna get along.

Playing soccer, exactly. You take the politics out of it and we're just gonna, you know, have a couple cigarettes, maybe a glass of scotch and call it good.

And here we go back to the book. I learned in the south the white man name of Longhair, the soldier big chief we had killed on the little bighorn. I was told he was called General Custer.

I had heard his name spoken at the White River Agency, but I did not understand clearly who was meant by it. The Southern Cheyennes knew of him because of his having fought against them before he had come into our northern country. They had surrendered to him.

After we've been a year on this reservation, many of our people began to be asked to be taken back to the north. There was no game here, and we were not allowed to go off the reservation for hunting, and we were not given food as it had been promised. We should be given.

At times some of our young men would violate the orders and would slip away from the reservation to get a buffalo or some other animal good to eat.

Some white people said the Indians were killing their cattle. I do not know, I did not do this. I stayed alt the time on the reservation. But if any Indians did kill the white men cattle, they did so because they were very hungry and could not find any wild game. We ate the beef because it was the best we could get. W...
