Ich meine, du sprichst über das Internet, du sprichst über Telefone und all das. Der Moccasin-Telegraph ist viel schneller geworden. All the non-natives know about this in an instant, how they do it. Even now, today, it's still like that. My wife and I were talking about it the other day. You do something or say something out here, the people in eastern South Dakota know it.

And they're not using telephones or computers or nothing, they just know. They called it the Moccasin Telegraph. But that's how they knew. And word went out to all non-treaty natives. My grandfather sent it out. He wanted to do a council with the white man. How do they honor what they said on their treaty? He said he didn't believe that they were going to honor it anyway.

But how are they going to protect it? Okay. But on the other hand, the Americans didn't know about this. They heard that my great-grandfather was calling a meeting, a council. All non-treaty Indians were coming together up in Montana. So they created three columns of soldiers, you know, one coming out of Fort Laramie. You know, you had Krug, Gibb, and Custer, and all these guys.

Custer was coming out of Bismarck, North Dakota, to converge and to trap them and to annihilate them. That's what their thing was. There's no council or talking. They just wanted to go battle with them. But my grandfather was... So the whole camp moved. They got to the river and they crossed it and they... Trees are the camp.

And they were waiting for others to come so they could hold this council. Well, Custer had left earlier and he had a force march. He made his men ride day and night to try to encounter the natives. And so that's how the battle started. I mean, that's how it ended up when he came. And he was hot-headed and he was egotistical and he wanted to

After he killed off all the Lakota, he was going to be president. He was going to run for president. He had already had the vision read. And he told the people to beware of it. And when Krug came out, they thought that was the vision. He said, no. He said, this is not the vision. He said, it's coming. Well, when it came...

Again, I always emphasize the fact that women are the wisest of the whole thing. So my grandfather went into his teepee, and he was in his 40s by this time, and he comes out carrying his weapons. And as he walked out of the teepee, his mother was waiting for him. And she stopped him. She says, you have done enough for the people. You have protected, provided.

She says, but you let the young men show their worth, show their expertise in combat. She says, take the non-combatants to a safe place and you'll take care of them there. Die Kinder, die alten Leute und alle anderen. Also hat er es gemacht. Er hat keine... Er hat seine Mutter gehört.
