Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
It is a story about a moment of desperate defense, unexpected victory, and the terrible consequences that followed.
It is a story about what it cost to hold onto a way of life that the United States government was determined to destroy.
And it is a story about people — real individuals with names and families and specific griefs and specific acts of courage — who have not always been treated as fully real by the dominant historical tradition.
Moving Robe Woman is one of those real people.
Her brother Deeds was real.
