[The following entry was made first but only reunited with the rest at 05:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC) via merger of history & content of Talk:Crazy Horse (disambiguation) to here. --Jerzy•t

I've heard that his name actually should be translated as "untammed" horse; is that true? Szopen —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Szopen (talk • contribs) 14:39, 23 April 2004 (UTC)

Page move

(from WP:RM)

Crazy Horse (person) → Crazy Horse

All other articles with "Crazy Horse" in the name are named after this figure, so his article should occupy the primary name. A disambig page is already in place. -- Netoholic @ 04:25, 2004 Oct 28 (UTC)

That is a bad reason for the move. But a few Google tests quickly establish the only really good reason there could be: references to him predominate among uses by a good margin.

I am hurt that there is no mention of the Kangi Tanka (Big Crow) in this article, nor our families steps to protect "Crazy Horse"s name in U.S. Federal Courts. Nor any information about the sad division of the "Red Cloud's", and the "Crazy Horse's". an essentially artificial division.
We are his inheritors. We have done so much with no recognition. I guess I should try to supe this up.

Edit Bibliography

Was surprised that the Mari Sandoz biography was not listed. Add it and ordered the bibliography by date of publication, in order to preserve a historical interpretive context. If it becomes too large, I'd suggest ordering it by alpha author. --kradak 00:57, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is this true or BS?

"Crazy Horse had hazel eyes and light curly hair (his nickname was "curly"). He also had relatively light skin and freckles."

ALL contemporary accounts, EVEN FROM OTHER INDIANS mention his very light color for an Indian, especially a Sioux. And his childhood name translates to "Curly" (although this might be a traditional family name, passed on). There was speculation back then that he was a half-breed or at least 1/4th white, although this is not backed by ANY information we have about his background. Put it down to the vagarity of Genetics and ask him if you meet him on the Riverworld. CFLeon 09:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Surrender?

I don't think Crazy Horse ever surrendered to anyone at anytime. He died in battle with high honor at the age of 27. Stabinator 06:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Source for this statement??? CFLeon 09:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I kindof assume this is a joke, but in any case, I'm sure the wording of surrender can be somewhat disputed. I've never seen or heard of any litterature that support this statement whatsoever. galar71 03:45, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
