Crazy Horse was a legendary Native American Indian warrior from the Oglala Lakota Sioux Tribe. He was born in South Dakota in the year of 1842 and got killed in 1877 in Ft. Robinson, Nebraska. Crazy Horse was a great, powerful, and brave leader who was in the struggle of protecting his homeland and the way of life. Crazy Horse’s real name was Tashunke Witko. But when he was younger, his childhood name was Curly. His mom died when he was a child also, so his dad took his mom’s sister as a wife and helped take care of Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse himself was a quiet, shy person who had avoided attention against the battlefield but yet was inspired awe, excitement, jealousy, and fear. From being a young child to going into his first fights and battles, it was known and clear that Crazy Horse was going to be a fierce warrior. Crazy Horse was almost killed pursuing the woman he loved. Crazy Horse’s people had given up their way of life and moved to reservations that had been established by whites who saw them as a hindrance to progress. Those who were like Crazy Horse soon found themselves confronting an enemy whose might and tactics often were beyond their comprehension and whose goal was their destruction. Crazy Horse had led a Tribe called the great Sioux-Cheyenne Uprising of 1876-77, which had reached its high point on June 25, 1876, along with the destruction of Colonel George Armstrong Custer and more of 250 men of the Seventh Cavalry at Little Big Horn. Less than a year later of Crazy Horse and his people were considered, even by these contemporaries, an epochal event in the history of the Plains Indian wars and the West. Crazy Horse requested that on the day he was going to die on, he requested that his body would be given to his father and stepmother to bury him near his homeland near Wounded Knee just like asked for and wanted. Crazy Horse was one of the "bravest of the brave" and which also reflected on his life and death. The life behind the one and only legendary Crazy Horse was about being brave, being a great leader, sacrificing life, and achievement. Which all of those makes a great Warrior and leader. And that’s for all those who, like, Crazy Horse should become. But not only Crazy Horse was a great, brave, intelligent legendary warrior with a good heart for him and his people, he was also just as frightened as anybody else was when it came to death. Everybody looked up to Crazy Horse because he was such a great warrior, person and leader but not everything he did was perfect, not everything he did was the right thing to do, and not every decision he made was the right decision to make. He, at times, made mistakes too. But the battle he was mostly remembered for was Little Bighorn. It was a huge victory for him and his people. Most people weren’t like Crazy Horse. He was a very modest and generous guy who would give up his food for people who were hungry. He was everything that people wanted in a chief, warrior, leader, and person. Since the day Crazy Horse died and since the day the Crazy Horse monument stands, we give peace to the one and only legendary warrior, chief, and leader, one of the "bravest of the brave" Native American Indian in history.
