American Horse – A Shrewd Sioux Chief
One of the wittiest and shrewdest of the Sioux chiefs was American Horse, who succeeded to the name and position of an uncle, killed in the battle of Slim Buttes in 1876. The younger American Horse was born a little before the encroachments of the whites upon the Sioux country became serious and their methods aggressive, and his early manhood brought him into that most trying and critical period of our history. He had been tutored by his uncle since his own father was killed in battle while he was still very young. The American Horse band was closely attached to a trading post, and its members, in consequence, were inclined to be friendly with the whites, a policy closely adhered to by their leader.
When he was born, his old grandfather said: “Put him out in the sun! Let him ask his great-grandfather, the Sun, for the warm blood of a warrior!” And he had warm blood. He was a genial man, liking notoriety and excitement. He always seized an opportunity to leap into the center of the arena.
In early life, he was a clownish sort of boy among the boys —an expert mimic and impersonator. This talent made him popular and in his way a leader. He was a natural actor, and early showed marked ability as a speaker.
American Horse was about ten years old when he was attacked by three Crow warriors while driving a herd of ponies to water. Here he displayed native cunning and initiative. It seemed he had scarcely a chance to escape, for the enemy was near. He yelled frantically at the ponies to start them toward home, while he dropped off into a thicket of willows and hid there.
A part of the herd was caught in sight of the camp and there was a counter chase, but the Crows got away with the ponies. Of course, his mother was frantic, believing her boy had been killed or captured; but after the excitement was over, he appeared in camp unhurt. When questioned about his escape, he remarked: “I knew they would not take the time to hunt for small game when there was so much bigger close by.” Thank you for your interest in my post and your comments. Have a nice day to you and your family

Wherever I go on this sacred land there is love above me, there is respect below me, there is peace behind me and there is hope ahead of me.
I walk with a prayer in my heart and I am grateful for any blessing that meets me big or small, for within me I know everything is transpiring to care for me. Surround yourself with beauty and the sacred and everywhere you walk on the sacred land will transpire to give you only the good medicine.

Oh Great Spirit, your energy lives in the four elements of life, the water, fire, air and the soil of Earth. Bring your divine winds to bring great healing to Mother Earth, burn the sacred fire to purify that is unclean, bless and enrich the soil so we may have abundance, and always bring your rains so all life will be nurtured.
Oh Great Spirit heal the circle of life and let us all have compassion and respect for each other, show us the way of love and peace so we all can thrive. Oh Great Spirit give us light in this time of darkness, give us compassion in this time of indifference, and give us harmony where there is separation. Oh Great Spirit hear our prayers

We are the ones the Ancestors talked about, we are the seventh generation, it is our hearts that burn with the eighth fire. For we are the beginning that brings the end of the fourth circle of life, we are the ones that usher in the great purification.
The signs are all around us and we can feel this shift in the worldwide consciousness, for we are witnessing the last gasps of control by the darkness before the new golden age of humans will live in love, harmony and peace with each other and with Mother Earth.
In truth everything started towards purification in the beginning of 2020, when everything changed in this reality. For we the seventh generation started being a threat because of the mass soul awakening that was and is occurring on Mother Earth. But this cannot be stopped and this circle of life will end and a new one will start
