Moving Robe Woman (Tȟašína Máni) — The Hunkpapa Lakota Woman Who Rode Into The Battle Of Little Bighorn After Learning Her Brother Had Been Killed
The grass was tall in June, as it typically is after the spring rains.
The sun was high.
The gunfire was constant.
She rode, and she fought, and she survived.
Whatever else history has or has not recorded about her, that much is certain.

On the evening of June 26, 1876, as the battle ended and the Lakota and Cheyenne began to prepare to leave the valley of the Greasy Grass, Moving Robe Woman was alive.
Her brother Deeds was not.
