HALT THE HELICOPTERS

The fate of the only wild horse herd left in #NorthDakota is in jeopardy. The #TheodoreRooseveltNationalPark is home to a historic herd of 180 wild horses who are believed to be descendants of #SittingBull 's horses and are related to the rare #Nokota breed – but the #NationalParkService (NPS) has made clear that they want to eliminate the entire #herd .

Today in Labor History January 8, 1877: Crazy Horse and his warriors fought their final battle against the U.S. Cavalry at Wolf Mountain, Montana Territory. Just six months earlier, Crazy Horse and Chief Gall had led Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho warriors in the routing of Custer and the 7th Cavalry in the Battle of Little Bighorn. Many bands of Sioux and Cheyenne had returned to the reservations to get food and supplies in preparation for winter. However, Congress had demanded that they cede the Black Hills in exchange for these goods, and they replaced the civilian contractors in charge of these supplies with army soldiers. This convinced many people to avoid the reservations and mistrust the U.S. government even more than they already did. Then, in December, U.S. troops defeated Sitting Bull’s band, as well as Dull Knife's Cheyennes, who had trekked through snow to join Crazy Horse. Considering their weakened condition and the approaching winter, Crazy Horse tried to negotiate peace with the army. The army responded by murdering Crazy Horse's delegation. Consequently, they continued fighting. The final battle occurred on January 8, 1877. While only 3 people died on each side and the battle was essentially a draw, the U.S. treated it as a strategic victory in light of their recent humiliation at Little Big Horn, and because it showed they could avoid defeat under harsh winter conditions.

Today in Labor History December 29, 1890: U.S. Army troops slaughtered 300 Sioux men, women and children in the Wounded Knee Massacre on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, South Dakota. Two weeks earlier, they had killed Sitting Bull for failing to stop the Ghost Dance. The people living in Sitting Bull’s camp fled to the Pine Ridge Reservation, where the U.S. Army caught up to them on December 29. They began disarming the Lakota warriors. However, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote didn’t want to give up his rifle, because he had paid a lot for it. When his rifle went off in the struggle, the U.S. Army began shooting indiscriminately at the mostly unarmed Lakota. In addition to the 300 Lakota who died, 25 U.S. soldiers also died. And 20 soldiers were given the Medal of Honor. L. Frank Baum, author of “Wizard of Oz,” was a newspaper editor at the time. He wrote, “Havin g wronged them for centuries, we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe these untamed and untamable creatures from the face of the earth. In this lies future safety for our settlers and the soldiers who are under incompetent commands.”

On this day, in 1890, Sitting Bull was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him. He was a Hunkpapa Lakota leader who led his people during years of resistance against United States government policies.
Each country has many versions of its history and we continue to rewrite it. It’s often the history as written by the winners. In short: today’s version of history could soon be history too.

Bei so vielen Zitaten, die Sitting Bull angeblich so abgesondert haben soll, hätte er ja kaum Zeit zum Kämpfen gehabt ...
