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.

Mi-Wa-Kan Yu-Ha-La, Called Sword, Captain of Dakota Oglala Native Police and Judge of Native Court - 1875
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.
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.
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.
