After the death of Crazy Horse, the Oglalas were trapped on the reservation , surrounded by a growing, dominant, white man’s world. Young Man Afraid sought ways for his people to adapt peacefully to the changing world of the reservation rather than trying to restore the grandeur of the old life through obstructionist politics.

Aron, Chair This dissertation explores the social, cultural, and economic history of horse stealing among both American Indians and Euro Americans in Lincoln County, Nebraska from 1860 to 1890. It shows how American Indians and Euro-Americans stole from one another during the Plains Indian Wars and explains how a culture of theft prevailed throughout the region until the late-1870s. But as homesteaders flooded into Lincoln County during the 1870s and 1880s, they demanded that the state help protect their private property. These demands encouraged state building efforts in the region, which in turn drove horse stealing – and the thieves themselves – underground. However, when newspapers and local leaders questioned the efficacy of these efforts, citizens took extralegal steps to secure private property and augment, or subvert, the law.

    Warriors in Wild West Shows

    INDIAN WARRIORS IN THE BATTLE OF THE LITTLE BIGHORN & WILD WEST SHOWS Between 1883 and 1930, Wild West Shows gave Indian warriors a chance to depict their abilities in warfare and beauty of culture through their many performances before audiences in the United States and Europe. Some of the warrior veterans who fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn were among these performers. “Indians flocked to the Wild West show because they were innovative, courageous men and women searching for a means of economic and cultural survival, and the show offered better hope for that than just about any other paying job.” 1 The references listed indicate the source for the warrior in the Wild West Show(s). The references for the warriors at the Little Bighorn are listed in the Friends of the Little Bighorn Battlefield website. In some cases, a number of warriors performed in more than one Wild West Show. This list is not complete and we are always trying to make improvements and corrections.

    The Relationship Between the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas

    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OF THE AMERICAS AND THE HORSE: DECONSTRUCTING A EUROCENTRIC MYTH By Yvette Running Horse Collin A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Indigenous Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks May 2017 © 2017 Yvette Running Horse Collin APPROVED: Raymond Barnhardt, Ph.D., Committee Chair Beth Ginondidoy Leonard, Ph.D., Committee Co-Chair Theresa Arevgaq John, Ph.D., Committee Member Marco A. Oviedo, Ph.D., Committee Member Michael Koskey, Ph.D., Department Chair Todd Sherman, M.F.A., Dean, College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School Abstract This research project seeks to deconstruct the history of the horse in the Americas and its relationship with the Indigenous Peoples of these same lands. Although Western academia admits that the horse originated in the Americas, it claims that the horse became extinct in these continents during the Last Glacial Maximum (between roughly 13,000 and 11,000 years ago). This version of “history” credits Spanish conquistadors and other early European explorers with reintroducing the horse to the Americas and to her Indigenous Peoples. However, many Native Nations state that “they always had the horse” and that they had well established horse cultures long before the arrival of the Spanish. To date, “history” has been written by Western academia to reflect a Eurocentric and colonial paradigm. The traditional knowledge (TK) of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, and any information that is contrary to the accepted Western academic view, has been generally disregarded, purposefully excluded, or reconfigured to fit the accepted academic paradigm.

Det rör sig mycket om det två hövdingarna Amerikan Horse den yngre och den äldre. Jag försöker att inte blanda in politik i mitt kåseri men jag kan inte låta bli i detta fall. Det är för mig ofattbart att man fortfarande väljer att köra över minoritets-folken i USA. Nu rev den s.k. nya presidenten upp avtalet som var tecknat av tidigare administration och flyttade tillbaka dragningen av den nya oljeledningen över helig mark vid Standing Rock i USA. Detta hände bara dagar efter att man sagt att nu skulle makten tillbaka till folket och alla skall få komma till tals. Från början var det tänkt att man skulle dra ledningen där över men protester och andra aktiviteter gjorde att man flyttade ledningen. Då kunde man visat sig stor och behållit detta beslut, men icke. Så vad som hände för 150 år sedan händer idag också. Beklagligt och mina Howdy Citizens! tankar går till mina indianbröder där borta. Då närmar sig en ny säsong med stormsteg och jag kan tänka mig att alla är spända på HIGH CHAPARRALL vad som hänt i den småländska vilda western Naturligtvis längtar jag till första under vinterhalvåret. öppningslördagen i parken för då skall jag gå till Kates och ta kl-11 ölen som är en gammal Alltid lika spännande att se hur många sedvänja.
