The Worm: His Father’s Grief And His Father’s Choices
In the history of Crazy Horse, his father — named Worm by the translations that have come down to us, originally called Crazy Horse before the name passed to his son — is a figure of profound importance who remains underwritten in the popular literature.
Worm was a medicine man, a spiritual practitioner of the Oglala Lakota, a man whose understanding of the Lakota spiritual world was the intellectual and spiritual environment in which his famous son grew up.
The specific content of what Worm taught his son — the vision quest tradition, the spiritual practices, the understanding of power and its sources — shaped the man Crazy Horse became.
