RED CLOUD VICTOR IN AN
AMERICAN WAR
By Elmo Soots pafson

THE average school histories assert
Il that America has been victorious
In all Of her wars. But they are
strangely silent about a conflict In
which one man defied the power of
the United States and dictated his
own terms OF peace That man was
Red Cloud (Makpiya Luta). chief Of
the 0gallala Sioux.
When government commissioners
sought the right to build forts along
the Bozeman trail to the Montana
gold fields. Red Cloud steadfastIy OPP
posed this encroachment on the choic-
est hunting grounds Of the Sioux In
q council Of his people he declared:
"Dakotas, am for wari'
Col. n. B. Darlington entered
Wyoming, nevertheless, TO build the
forts and Red Cloud sent him this
defiant message: II shall stand In
the trail" A war followed In which
the OgalIala leader killed 81 soldiers
under Colonel Fetterman near Fort
Phil Kearney. This loss was avenged
the next year when Red Cloud lost
half of the 5000 warriors whom he
sent against 80 soldiers In q wagon
box corral.
manned master Of the situation. In
1888 he delivered his ultimatum to q
peace commission. The forts must be
abandoned and all further attempts
to open the Montana road must cease.
More than that, he fixed the boun-
daries Of the Sioux country to suit
himself. The commissioners agreed
to every demand. for the Ogallala chief
refused even to meet them until the
garrisons had actually been with
drawn. bis victory was complete.
From the day he signed the treaty
he kept his promise to live at peace
with whites. "Ninety-one years old,
blind, almost deaf. he sits dreaming Of
the past" writes one who visited him
then. mo wonder he is irritated by
the Idle information seeker. Who
would be called back from the dreams
Of his YOUTH Sightless and indrm.
he is RELIEVING the days Of his youth
when he sat on his horse as king. the
pride Of the great Sioux nation.
ITO bis ears must come the roar Of
the hunt as the countless bison herd.
like tidal wave, rolls by. And again
the great day Of his life. when his
red-blanketed band swept down On
the hapless Fetterman troop. Rvsa
now HIS heart must seem to stand
still as he lives over again that rsar-
ful day Of the Wagon Box fight, when
he hurled the pick Of the Sioux ma
ton against the rifiemen."
On December 10. 1909. the old mans
dreams ended and Red Cloud, the great.
est war chief Of the Sioux, died.

STORIES OF
GREAT. INDIANS
CHIEFS NAME WAS Oldham
AFRAID.OF-HIS-HORSES

n URIHG the Sioux war OF 1866-67
II the head chief Of the ogalialas
was q man known to his people as
Tashunka Kokipapi. Once careless
interpreter translated this name into
English as old-Man-Afraid-of His
Horses. and this title, with its impli-
cation Of cowardice. stuck with him
through history.
Accustomed as the white man was
TO curious Indian names. this one was
particularly interesting and many at
tempts were made TO explain it. The
literal Interpretation that he feared
his own horses was scarcely compli-
mentory to war chief of the Ogallala
Sioux. Then there was a story that
he owned a great many horses which
he was constantly afraid of losing
and that once when the ShoshOnes at
tackled his camp he left his family IN
the hands of the enemy to run Off his
horses.
Move credltable was the lnterpreta-
ton Of his being such a great chief
tain that even the sight of his horses
inspired fear in the hearts Of his enc
mics The true Interpretation of his
name, as given by hts son, Young Man
Afraid-of- His-Horses. was "He Whose
Horse They Fear" (lirerally: TIA,
"his": shunka. horse; kokipapi.
athey fear it'). This arose from the
fact that he had a vicious pony.
His English name is an example
not only of the frequent poor transla-
ton of Indian names by the whites
but also Of the fact that some In
significant incident may be the decid-
ing factor In naming a great In
dian warrior. Old-Man-Afraid-of- His
Horses retained his position as head
chief Of the Ogallala until 1873. At his
death In the late '70s the name passed
on to his son, Young-Man-Afraid-of-
His Horses, who was prominent dur
ing Ghost Dance troubles Of 1S90-91.
After the troubles Yere over
Washington newspaper correspondent
was sent to interview Young-Man-
Afraid. The correspondent took an
interpreter with him to the chiefs
tepee. Young-Man-Afraid asked them
to dinner. They ate. Then wanting
to do the right thing but not knowing
whether It was proper to tip a big
Indian chief. the newspaper man
dropped three silver dollars into the
hands of the chiefs wife and had his
interpreter say: 'In my country a COM
pliment to a mans wife is thought a
double compliment"
The interpreter repeated the state
ment to Young-Man-Afraid who
grunted. rose, left the tepee and came
back with four more wivesi
