Speech by Crazy Horse(edit one):-)
Crazy Horse Speech.
We preffered our own way of living.(Sept.05.1877).
On the deathbed before his father,mother and agent Lee,Crazy Horse told his story.
I was not hostile to the white man.Sometimes my young men would attack Indians who were their enemies and took their ponies.We had buffalo for food and their hides for clothing and tepees.We preferred hunting to a life of idleness on the reservations,where we were driven against our will.At times we did not get enough food to eat, and we were not allowed to leave the reservation to hunt.We preffered our own way of living.We were no expanse to the government then.All we wanted was peace and to be left alone.Soldiers were sent out in the winter,who destroyed our villages.Then Long Hair(Custer) came in the same way.They say we massacred him,but he would have done the same to us had we not defended ourselves and fought to the last.Our first impulse was to escape with our squaws and papooses,but we were so hemmed in that we had to fight.After that I went up on tongue river with a few of my people and lived in peace.But the government would not let me alone.Finally,i came back to Red Cloud Agency.Yet I was not allowed to remain quiet.I was tired of fighting.I went to Spotted Tail Agency and asked that chief and his agent to let me live there in peace.I came here with the agent Lee to talk with big white chief,but was not given a chance.They tried to confine me,I tried to escape,and a soldier ran his bayonet into me.I have spoken.
