| This page is a collection of quotes and sayings by the greatest Native American to ever lived - Chief Crazy Horse. He has had a great influence on my life, my writing, and my spiritual outlook! Crazy Horse was the bravest and most patriotic warrior in American history, and his beliefs are still very much alive today in Native American Society. " One does not sell the land upon which people walk " - Chief Crazy Horse " We did not ask you white men to come here. The Great Spirit gave us this country as a home. You had yours. We did not interfere with you. The Great Spirit gave us plenty of land to live on, and buffolor, deer, antelope and other game. But you have come here, you are taking my land from me, you are killing off our game, so it hard for us to live. Now, you tell us to work for a living, but the Great Spirit did not make us to work, but to live by hunting. You white men can work if you want to. We did not interfere with you, and again you say why do you not become civilized? We do not want your civilization! We would live as our fathers did, and their fathers before them. " - Chief Crazy Horse " Crazy Horse was the personification of savage ferocity; though a young man, he was of a most restless and adventurous disposition, and arrived at great renown amont the warriors, even before he was tewnty-six years of age. In fact, he had become the war cheif of the souther Sioux and the recognized leader of the hostile Oglalas." - Personal Recollections of General Nelson A. Miles. " In him everything was made a second to patriotism and love of his people. Modest, fearless, a mystic, a believer in destiny, and much of a recluse. He was held in veneration and admiration by the younger warriors who would follow him anywhere... I could not but regard him as the greatest leader of his people in modern times." - Dr V.T. Mcgillycuddy, Assistant Post Surgeon, Fort Robinson. " I saw before me a man who looked quite young, not over thirty years old, five feet eight inched height, lithe and sinewy, with a scar in the face. The expression of his countenance was one of quite dignity, but morose, dogged, tenacious, and melencholy. He behaved with stolidity, like a man who realized that he had to give in to fate, but would not do so as sullenly as possible... All Indians gave him a high reputation for courage and generosity. In advancing upon an enemy, none of his warriors were allowed to pass him. He had made himself hundreds of friends bu his charity towards the poor, as it was a point of honor with him never to keep anything for himself, excepting weapons of war. I never heard an Indian mention his name save in terms of respect. In the Custer Massacre, the attack by Reno had first caused a panic among the woman and children and some of the warriors, who started to flee; but Crazy Horse, throwing away his rifle, brained one of the incoming soldiers with his stone war-club, and jumped upon his horse." - Captain John G. Bourke. |
