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.

Chief John Gall aka Pizi (Leader in the battle of the Little Bighorn and Judge of Court of Indian Affairs) - Hunkpapa 1891
Gall, like Crazy Horse, was not a chief but a war leader who earned his position by demonstrated ability. I don't remember who said it, but I remember the statement "Sitting Bull and Red Cloud make the big speeches...Gall and Crazy Horse plan the ambushes and lead the war parties."
If native American's, Indian's, can accomplish a status like John Gall did, then that tells me that every person can achieve a their goals when they apply themselves to do so. We all suffer hardships and set backs, but we endeavor and press on. What a great country we live in.
Looks like Viggo Mortensen.

ReplyDeleteHe was a great war chief in his day. A great leader.
