  1. The old Indian Head Nickel was supposedly modeled on the basis of 3 Indian chiefs, but I gotta say, this guy is an almost perfect spittin' image.

  2. Eddie Little Sky was also Oglala Lakota. He appeared in many Western movies and television shows in the '50s and retired to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota along with his wife Dawn Little Sky, who also acted in Westerns.

    He passed away at 71 in 1997 and was buried on the reservation.

  3. My best friend John One Horse was Oglala Lakota. Greatest guy I've ever known, and an absolute babe magnet. Lost him fifteen years ago from a resurgence of Polio.
