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 does not diminish the grief of the families who lost men that day, or the historical reality of what Custer and his command experienced in the hills above the Greasy Grass.
What it does is complete the story.
It gives a name, a face, a grief, and a decision to the people who were on the other side — who were not the villains of the piece but the defenders of their homes, their families, and their way of life.
She was Tȟašína Máni.
She was Hunkpapa Lakota.
She rode into a battle that her people won, carrying the grief of a sister and the courage of a woman who refused to stand aside when her community was under attack.
Her brother Deeds was killed.
