CRAZY HORSE - LAKOTA WARRIOR

"One does not sell the land people walk on"
Sept.23, 1875. Crazy Horse, Lakota warrior


          

Crazy Horse was one of the most powerful leader of the Lakota people during the wars between U.S.and Sioux people in the 1800's. Everyone knew he had special powers that were received during a powerful vision he had when still only 13 years old. He was never defeated in any battle, he was only concerned with the welfare of his people, that they could keep their lands and religious ways, as it had been for thousands of years on their sacred lands. But jealousy even among his own people was the main reason why he was killed a few months after he took the hard decision to surrender, besides the fact that the government just wanted to find a little reason to get him out of their context once and for all. It was September 05, 1877, an extremely sad day for the Lakotas...
