in my CRAZY HORSE, A LAKOTA LIFE I propose that Male Crow was a brother of Crazy Horse's father. In SPOTTED TAIL'S FOLK George Hyde retold Colhoff's story of Male Crow's death and applied it to the Brule Orphan band - Iron Shell's band. This was an error. We have to wonder to what extent the Oglala Orphan community was a creation of the 1880s. Most of the Kiyaksa band settled in Medicine Root District. One tiyoshpaye, focussed on Two Lance, chose to settle in Wounded Knee Dist. I don't know the reasons for this realignment. This community was named the Orphans. The nearest I can come is to suggest it emerged as a distinct group in 1880 or 1881. Most of the people were undoubtedly Kiyaksa. If you think of the logic of the Male Crow story, it makes sense that these people came south with Bad Wound in 1845. They may have formed a minor group within greater Kiyaksa, then in 1880-81 the group expanded, became a distinct camp - attracted a prominent headman Two Lance? I don't know for sure! Hello Kingsleybray. Do you know if there is any relation between Two Lance and Fast Whirlwind?
