Crazy Horse

     Crazy Horse was one of the most influential Indian chiefs in American history. He was born c. 1840 as a member of the Olga Sioux tribe, which was one of the largest at the time. He was born with the name Tashunka Witco, and eventually was called Cray Horse. Many scholars believe that his unique name was passed on from his father after he showed promise as a great warrior. In his life he joined a with Cheyenne forces in order to organize a surprise attack against General Cook, in 1877. He also joined forces with Sitting Bull during the battle of Little Bighorn, which they were very victorious. He died in 1877; he was killed after surrendering to the U.S. army after being involved in a skirmish with guards.
