And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Portrait (Front) of Nakai (Bear Woman), Daughter of Oivit (Scabby), Cheyenne, in Native Dress with Ornaments - Gill - June 1908
Her mother was not named Scabby, it was her father. This girl did not go to school, so not sure what you think is funny. Native people were/are given names at birth that have a specific meaning, and sometimes were given a different name throughout their lifetime, mostly males.
I like the elk teeth.
ReplyDeleteHaving a mother named "Scabby" would be tough when the other kids at school joined in.
