Product Description:

A hero and warrior of the Oglala Sioux tribe, Crazy Horse is remembered for his leading role in the Battle of Little Bighorn, the Sioux Nation's greatest victory over the encroaching white army. Determined to preserve the land, traditions, and culture of his people, Crazy Horse engaged in a seemingly lost cause to prevent the offensive intrusion of whites into the sacred land of the Black Hills. With the fierceness of his belief, he almost succeeded, managing to massacre Colonel George Custer's Seventh Cavalry, driving back the army and foiling the white man's plan to surround his village. Unfortunately, Crazy Horse's involvement in Custer's Last Stand effectively signed the great warrior's death warrant. In this A&E special, leading historians and elders of the Sioux tribe retrace the life and noble last days of Crazy Horse, and period accounts, art, and artifacts from his lifetime gives testament to his courage and to the strength of his beliefs.
