Crazy Horse, of the Oglala Lakota tribe, played an integral role in the Battle of Little Bighorn, also known as Custer’s Last Stand. His likeness is now carved into a Black Hills mountain at The Crazy Horse Memorial. The famous leader resisted having his photograph taken, often responding to picture requests with “would you imprison my shadow too?” The memorial sculptor created his likeness based on descriptions from those who knew him. The grand visage, cut into granite, intends to honor the Native American values that Crazy Horse fought for and defended.

In their world, the Comanches were very sociable and capable of fine humor. They were also inclined to be good-natured in their lives but the Comanches were especially generous.
The Texas state legislator and Indian agent Robert Simpson Neighbors had been seen as a principled and honorable protector of native rights given by treaty. In the 1840's, he visited with Comanches in their homelands and spent time to understand them. In 1847, he became a special Indian agent with a federal appointment and participated in several councils with Comanches. Neighbors observed that Comanches had a high-spirited way about them and seemed to approach life with passion. In 1853, the Indian agent Robert Neighbors also penned the following about the generosity of the Comanche people:
"From the liberality with which they dispose of their effects" on ceremonial occasions, "it would induce the belief that they acquire property merely for the purpose of giving it to others."

SIOUX BABY. Sure, your baby picture was cute, but you did not get to wear a porcupine hair and feather roach and sit upon a racoon hide. Frank Bennett Fiske was best known for his portraits of Sioux taken at his Fort Yates (North Dakota) studio on the Standing Rock Reservation. In 1900 at age 17, Fiske had taken over the studio previously operated by S. T. Fansler.

Buffalo Calf Road Woman was a Northern Cheyenne warrior who took part in two major battles of the Great Sioux War of 1876.
She is noted for saving her brother, Chief Comes in Sight, during the Battle of Rosebud in Montana. She fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn with her fellow Northern Cheyenne alongside Arapaho and Lakota Allies. Decades later the Northern Cheyenne publicly shared stories of her accomplishments and credit her with striking Custer from his horse.
Buffalo Calf Road Woman is a brilliant example of bravery, perseverance, and honor. The same virtues that our Indigenous women live by today
