Today in Labor History January 8, 1877: Crazy Horse and his warriors fought their final battle against the U.S. Cavalry at Wolf Mountain, Montana Territory. Just six months earlier, Crazy Horse and Chief Gall had led Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors in the routing of Custer and the 7th Cavalry in the Battle of Little Bighorn. Many bands of Sioux and Cheyenne had returned to the reservations to get food and supplies in preparation for winter. However, Congress had demanded that they cede the Black Hills in exchange for these goods, and they replaced the civilian contractors in charge of these supplies with army soldiers. This convinced many people to avoid the reservations and mistrust the U.S. government even more than they already did. Then, in December, U.S. troops defeated Sitting Bull’s band, as well as Dull Knife's Cheyennes, who had trekked through snow to join Crazy Horse. Considering their weakened condition and the approaching winter, Crazy Horse tried to negotiate peace with the army. The army responded by murdering Crazy Horse's delegation. Consequently, they continued fighting. The final battle occurred on January 8, 1877. While only 3 people died on each side and the battle was essentially a draw, the U.S. treated it as a strategic victory in light of their recent humiliation at Little Big Horn, and because it showed they could avoid defeat under harsh winter conditions.

Remember to add #Custer by #JohnnyCash to your #Thanksgiving playlist. And #WeWereAllWoundedAtWoundedKnee by #Redbone and maybe the #FrankWaln remake of What Made the Red Man Red.

All certified bops, all Native artists,¹ and all fun conversation starters.

1. Johnny Cash was neither born Johnny Cash nor Native, but he adopted the name and the Seneca adopted him.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1868, US troops under General #Custer wiped out a village of peaceful #Cheyenne people. The chief was assured they were safe, then he and his wife were shot. 103 people were killed, nearly all of them women and children. Settler-colonialism is genocidal.

Joseph White Cow Bull (#Cheyenne) being painted by Artist David Humphreys Miller. Circa 1938. White Cow Bull was a survivor of the Battle of a #LittleBigHorn.
While talking to Joseph White Cow Bull, he was told what happened during the battle. White Cow Bull never said he shot Custer, but from the description of the battle, the Horse the rider was on and corroboration from the others he spoke to, he determined it was Joseph White Cow Bull that shot Custer early in the fight.

I had a 500+ mile adventure on Monday, which was Indigenous Peoples' Day. My first stop was Little Bighorn Battlefield... part 2... Last Stand Hill...

I finished this book a couple weeks ago when I was in San Diego for work. I get a lot of reading time in airports and on planes. I like history, especially history of the west and westward expansion. This book was in part a biography of Custer but included his cohorts as well and Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, and other native Americans. Well researched and written, fun read. #books #history #western #west #UShistory #Custer #nativeAmerican #LittleBighorn
