Our Culture has strong people, and it always produces many strong warriors, within the past and now in the present.
Our women warriors did not have to fight, but when they chose to fight alongside of the men, most were very skilled and honorable.
In the Battle of Little Bighorn, after General Custer and his troops were pushed back onto the hill that would later become “Last Stand Hill,” he and his troops were being surrounded and killed off by the Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho.
A Cheyenne woman called, “Buffalo Calf Road Woman,” an honored woman who showed bravery in an earlier battle with the calvary at the Battle of Rosebud Creek, was also fighting in this battle as well. She was seen riding up towards Custer while he frantically tried to lead his troops in the slaughter happening around him and was struck by Buffalo Calf Road Woman and knocked off his horse. That was then how another warrior was able to kill him off.
Artist’s note: Many coincidences happen while I paint these stories in the past, however, this one is cool. Everyone in NDN Country jokes and calls our 45th president “the Custer of our time,” but what I did not notice until I was halfway through painting this story was that the check was cashed for $45.00. Sometimes, these stories have a way of speaking even after hundreds of years
