information and excerpts from BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE, An Indian History of the American West ,by Dee Brown
Why do we have grave stones? Memoirs? biographies? To honor those we care about. These tribes and their leaders had families, homes, and prayed to the Great Spirit. I wish to remember them, please join me.

"During the following thirty years (1860-1890) these leaders and many more would enter into history and legend. Their names would become as well known as those of the men who tried to destroy them. Most of them, young and old, would be driven into the ground before the symbolic end of Indian freedom at Wounded Knee in December, 1890. Now, a century later, in a age without heroes, they are perhaps the most heroic of all Americans." p.12
