BLACK ELK TELLS ABOUT THE CUSTER BATTLE

AT DAYBREAK my father woke me up and told me to go with him to take the horses out to graze. A cousin of mine and I were getting ready to take several tipis' horses out to graze. Then as I started my father told me to be careful and I ought to have one horse with a long rope on it, easy to catch, and we should keep our eyes on the camp and look around us always. He said, "If anything happens bring horses back to camp right away as soon as you can." We took the horses out and herded them as the sun was coming out. We stood out there until the sun came up higher. We just let the horses go and I tied a long rope to one of them and turned them all loose. We went back to the camp. It was getting warm now and so the people were all swimming in the river. Some men went out hunting and women were out digging turnips and it was about eight or nine o'clock. We had no breakfast and had to go back to get it. Everyone took his horses to water.

I did not feel right -- I had a funny feeling all this time...

Testimonial:

I used 100 voices entries as evidence for the use of sign language among all the different groups involved in Custer's Last Stand. The paper is still quite rough but I found 100 Voices very useful.
