Thank you rageofreason, a very powerful image.I suppose with the history of this symbol and its affect on the history of mankind, a bigger picture has to be acknowledged.

Inkpaduta gained huge fame at the time of the Minnesota uprising, as Ladonna has said. he went on to follow Sitting Bull at times, was greatly respected, and died an old man, long after direct hostilities had ceased.

Thank you all for your replies. the photo was taken in 1927, so the headband was probably a prop. I did not think it was Lakota. thank you all again.

reading through Joseph Agonitos book, "Lakota Portraits", I was surprised to see a photo titled "Rosebud Yellow Robe" . a young woman wearing a headband with a row of swastica style symbols. I have never seen this style before and wonder if this was common and was there any specific meaning to the design. I know that these type of symbols were used by several cultures {non indian}. but did not realize that the Lakota used them. hope someone can enliten me, thank you.

Thanks grahamew .I appreciate that every soldier would probably have carried a knife as an every day tool and of course could explain the knife wounds to Noisy Walking.

I have heard that Crazy Horse sometimes wore a calf skin cape, is this a different thing from the red cape wearers?

thanks for the replies. I would like to think that the stab wounds were not inflicted by his own side as it were. as I was reading over an account of the story from Kate Big head I was filled with respect for this young warrior, and sadness that he did not live to receive the honours he so deserved. but as a suicide warrior I suppose he finished what he started out to do.

I am interested in finding out all I can about the young Cheyenne warrior who died the day after the little bighorn/greasy grass battle. I believe he was a nephew of Kate Bighead. she gives his name as noisy walking and he was found lying near the body of Lame Whiteman, who I believe was killed by Lakota warriors, mistaking him for a Crow scout. noisy walking was shot 3 times and suffered stab wounds. as the soldiers , I believe did not carry knives, could Noisy Walking have also been a victim of mistaken identity ?

In his book "the fighting Cheyennes" George Bird Grinnell mentions contrary practices among the Cheyennes.

The Nez Perce are associated with the appaloosa horse. the ponies used by most of the plains tribes, are I believe from mustang types,although any horse would have found a use.
