At a chance meeting in the 1850's between white men and Comanches at Nocona's village near the Canadian River, the captive Cynthia Ann was identified and seen fully participating in Comanche life at her village. When asked if she would return to her Parker family, she could only shake her head and point to her children. Cynthia Ann with her Comanche name of Naduah had chosen all the practices and ways of the Comanches.
As Cynthia Ann's mother dearly wanted her to return home, her brother John Parker was directed to bring her back to her family. However, he shared that Cynthia Ann "refused to listen to the proposition, saying that her husband, children, and all that she held most dear, were with the Indians, and there she should remain."
On December 18, 1860, Lawrence Sullivan Ross and the Texas Rangers seeking Comanche held white captives attacked a Comanche camp on Mule Creek near the Pease River. The Battle of Pease River resulted in three tribal members captured, two of which included Cynthia Ann and her infant daughter. After the fight, her Uncle Isaac Parker took them to his home close to Birdville. Cynthia Ann Parker lived for some twenty four years as a member of the Comanche tribe.

“Before I was six years old, my grandparents and my mother had taught me that if all the green things that grow were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the four-legged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all the winged creatures were taken from the earth, there could be no life. If all our relatives who crawl and swim and live within the earth were taken away, there could be no life. But if all the human beings were taken away, life on earth would flourish. That is how insignificant we are.”
Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Nation (November 10, 1939 – October 22, 2012)

The photograph "THREE GENERATIONS, circa 1905" captures three women from the Crow (Apsáalooke) tribe, posing together in a multi-generational portrait.
Grace Big Medicine, depicted on the left, stands alongside her daughter Annie and her mother Mary Theresa Spotted Hat, also known as Mrs. Albert Lincoln. The portrait was taken by Fred E. Miller, a well-known photographer who documented life on the Crow Reservation in Montana during the early 20th century.
The image provides a glimpse into the family structure and relationships within the Crow community during that time period. It reflects the pride and importance placed on familial ties and heritage. The inclusion of three generations in a single photograph highlights the continuity of traditions and the passing down of cultural values from one generation to the next.
The mention of digital restoration by G.J. Coffrin indicates efforts to preserve and enhance the historical significance of the photograph for future generations. Overall, this portrait serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and strength of indigenous families and their enduring connections to their heritage.

White Man Runs Him (Mahr-Itah-Thee-Dah-Ka-Roosh; c. 1858 – June 2, 1929) was a Crow scout serving with George Armstrong Custer's 1876 expedition against the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne that culminated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
Early life
Also known as White Buffalo That Turns Around, he was born into the Big Lodge Clan of the Crow Tation, the son of Bull Chief and Offers Her Red Cloth. At the age of about 18, he volunteered to serve as a scout with the United States Army on April 10, 1876, in its campaign against the Sioux and Northern Cheyenne, traditional enemies of the Crow.
Service as a scout
White Man Runs Him enlisted on April 10, 1876 at the Crow Agency, Montana Territory, for six months in the 7th United States Infantry. On June 21, 1876, he was transferred to Custer's Seventh U.S. Cavalry as part of a contingent of six Crow warrior/scouts, including Goes Ahead, Curly, Hairy Moccasin, White Swan, and Half Yellow Face, the leader of the scouts. He scouted for Lt. Charles Varnum's column in the days preceding the battle. In the early morning hours of June 25, 1876, he and other Crow scouts accompanied Varnum and Custer to the Crow's Nest, a high point on the Little Bighorn/Rosebud Creek divide, from which the Little Bighorn valley could be viewed at a distance of about seventeen air miles. The scouts could see indications of a large horse herd and the smoke of many morning fires, though the encampment itself was hidden from view on the valley floor. The Crow scouts advised Custer that the encampment was very large. Custer prepared to attack, however. Custer was concerned that during the morning of June 25, Sioux/Cheyenne warriors had detected the presence of his 650-man force, and if he did not promptly attack, the villagers would scatter, thus denying the army the confrontation it sought with the Sioux/Cheyenne forces.
According to White Man Runs Him's own accounts, after sending Major Marcus Reno's column to attack the settlement first, Custer hea

There are four Native American Chiefs that are often considered the most influential to the Native American culture. These four Chiefs were Chief Joseph, Sitting Bull, Geronimo and Red Cloud. Each of these forefathers played an important role in shaping their tribe's customs and history. Because of their influence over the shaping of Native American history, they are often referred to as the real founding fathers.

🎬 The Last of the Mohicans - This movie is INSANE 10/10🔥🔥
"The Last of the Mohicans," directed by Michael Mann and released in 1992, is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film set during the French and Indian War. Based on James Fenimore Cooper's classic novel, the story follows Hawkeye, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, a rugged frontiersman raised by Native Americans, as he navigates the complexities of love, loyalty, and survival in the American wilderness. The film is a masterful blend of romance, adventure, and historical drama, with Day-Lewis delivering a compelling performance that anchors the film's narrative. The chemistry between him and Madeleine Stowe, who plays Cora Munro, adds depth to the film's romantic subplot, while the supporting cast, including Russell Means and Wes Studi, enhance the story's authenticity and emotional weight.
Visually, "The Last of the Mohicans" is breathtaking, with sweeping cinematography that captures the majestic beauty of the American frontier. The film's action sequences are both intense and meticulously choreographed, providing a visceral experience that draws viewers into the period's brutal realities. Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman's powerful musical score further elevates the film, blending haunting melodies with stirring orchestral compositions. Michael Mann's direction ensures that the film balances its epic scope with intimate character moments, resulting in a rich and immersive narrative. "The Last of the Mohicans" is celebrated for its historical authenticity, captivating performances, and its ability to evoke both the grandeur and tragedy of a bygone era.

Aatsista-Mahkan or Running Rabbit (c. 1833 – probably 24 January 1911) was a chief of the Siksika First Nation. He was the son of Akamukai (Many Swans), chief of the Biters band, and following the death of his father in 1871, Aatsista-Mahkan took control of the band. He was known for his generosity and kindness, and for his loyal protection of his family.
In 1877 , he was a signatory to Treaty 7, but he and his people continued to follow the bison until 1881, when he and his people were designated to settle on a reserve, 60 miles east of today's Calgary, Alberta.
Running Rabbit was born into a prominent family. His older brother Many Swans, who took their father's name, was chief of Biters band of Siksikas to which they belonged. As a teenager and young warrior, Running Rabbit had not performed any great deeds worthy of recognition until his brother lent him an amulet said to have spiritual powers made from a mirror decorated with eagle feathers, ermine skins, and magpie feathers. Running Rabbit was successful during his first ever raid as a warrior, gaining himself two enemy horses which he captured and gifted to Many Swans. Similar success during following expeditions resulted in Many Swans giving Running Rabbit the amulet as a gift. Word of Running Rabbit's success spread throughout the Biters band and many referred to him.

Sacajawea? Sacagawea? Sakakawea?
Where She Came, How Its Spelled
"Sacajawea." Most Americans pronounce it that way too, SAH-kah-jah-WEE-ah.
I couldn't explain or articulate it, but saying "Sacajawea" somehow always felt "wrong." It was always explained to me that "Sacajawea" meant "Bird Woman." In Lakota on Standing Rock, they were taught that to say "Bird Woman" as "Zitkala Winyan." It turns out that Sacajawea was known to the Lakota too, and they did in fact know her as "Zitkala Winyan," as Bird Woman.
The story of Bird Woman is a complicated one. The Shoshone Indians insist that her name is "Sacajawea." They say that her name means "Boat Launcher." The general story is that she was kidnapped by the Hidatsa and brought to the Five Villages at Knife River (today its called Knife River Indian Villages located at present-day Stanton, ND). The Hidatsa Indians, however, were sedentary agricultural people, not particularly wont to journey so far west to Shoshone Indian country to steal children. The Hidatsa were traders, with trade coming to them. Bird Woman was likely kidnapped by the Crow Indians, a sister tribe to the Hidatsa, and who were west of the Five Villages, and who would have most likely raided the Shoshone Indians for horses.
At the Five Villages, Bird Woman came to be known amongst the Hidatsa as Bird Woman. In Hidatsa, they called her Tsacagawea (run the "t" together with the "s"), tsah-KAH-gah-WEE-ah.
When the Corps of Discovery met Bird Woman, they struggled with her name. Captain Lewis spelled it four different ways, Captain Clark spelled it yet four more different ways, and altogether the Corps of Discovery spelled it seventeen different ways. Not once with a "j".

Spotted Elk, nicknamed Big Foot (Si Thanka), born about 1826 and died on December 29, 1890, is a Native American leader of the Sioux Lakota Miniconjous tribe.
Big Foot and his people live on the Cheyenne River Reserve, and were the most excited believers of the Ghost Dance ceremony. Famine and misery they found in their reserve, during their final defeat in 1889, led the Lakotas to find refuge in the Ghost Dance Messianic Renewal message. The movement rapidly swept through the entire camp, alerting local Indian agents. Several dancers were removed, others recalled by troops.
At the Standing Rock Reservation, where Sitting Bull was suspected of encouraging Ghost Dance to provoke an uprising, bloodshed broke out when Indian police killed Sitting Bull during his arrest. Many men from the late old chief's tribe then escape to Big Foot.
The latter decided to lead his people away from the violence he encountered in Standing Rock and fled south to Pine Ridge, hoping to find safety. Sick, Big Foot was out of war, and was carrying a white flag when military patrols captured them on December 28, 1890. That night Big Foot and his tribe camped out by Wounded Knee cove, surrounded by soldiers.
The next morning, soldiers set up machine guns around the camp and began confiscating weapons from the Indians. When gunfire accidentally started, soldiers opened fire, and within minutes, killed more than 370 Lakota. Then they chased the women and children, to kill them several miles away from the site of the first confrontation.
