Listening to:

"Sitting Bull's Memorial Song" by Lakota Thunder

Nice drumming and chanting.  Onto my second listen.

Plenty Horses
(Tasunka) | 1891
 
 [RIGHT-CLICK IMAGE, 'NEW TAB']
Tried at Fort Meade
[ Looking at enlarged photo is spooky, because it feels modern ... Not very different to today.  Like you could almost be standing there.  ]
Plenty Horses shot and killed Army Lieutenant Edward W. Casey, while Casey was spying on the Indian encampment on the Stronghold Table. 
Plenty Horses had this to say:
"Five years I attended Carlisle and was educated in the ways of the white man. When I returned to my people, I was an outcast among them. I was no longer an Indian. I was not a white man. I was lonely. I shot the lieutenant so I might make a place for myself among my people. I am now one of them. I shall be hung, and the Indians will bury me as a warrior."

Plenty Horses (Tasunka), 
Brulé Lakota, Rosebud Indian Reservation 1891

Case against Plenty Horses (Tasunka)
Investigation re events of:  Wounded Knee Massacre had bearing on Plenty Horses case /
Determination whether Spotted Elk band were prisoners of war or not was relevant to trail of Plenty Horses
Plenty Horse's lawyers argued: 
state of war existed between US & Lakota Nation
/  thus belligerents may kill without criminal penalty
& Plenty Horses should not be tried for murder
Defence lawyers argued if prosecution argument upheld that state of war did not exist, THEN:  soldiers involved in massacre of indigenous Americans at Wounded Knee should also be charged with murder.

It was in US government interest that the victims of Wounded Knee be considered as 'combatants'
who were prisoners of war that rose up in armed resistance

1891 - George Shiras, Jr - presiding judge
HALTED PROCEEDINGS & INSTRUCTED JURY TO FIND A STATE OF WAR DID EXIST

around time of killings between Lakota and US
and that the skirmishes between Lakota warriors & US Army were battles

"If they were not it would be hard to justify the killings of the Indians at Wounded Knee and other places" - Judge George Shiras, Jr

Judge's direction that a state of war did exist meant Plenty Horses escaped conviction for murder and was released.

It also meant that the soldiers of the US Seventh Cavalry, the perpetrators of the Wounded Knee Massacre (none of whom were ever charged), were also exonerated ... and 20 were awarded medals.

If the prosecution was arguing at any point that the state of war DID NOT EXIST, what's the bet it did not exist?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenty_Horses

Black Elk (1863–1950); medicine man, Oglala Lakota:

"I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them with eyes young."

Hugh McGinnis; First Battalion, Co. K, 7th Cavalry:

"General Nelson A. Miles who visited the scene of carnage, following a three-day blizzard, estimated that around 300 snow shrouded forms were strewn over the countryside. He also discovered to his horror that helpless children and women with babies in their arms had been chased as far as two miles from the original scene of encounter and cut down without mercy by the troopers. ..."


Some of the citations on the medals awarded to the troopers at Wounded Knee state that they went in pursuit of Lakota who were trying to escape or hide.

'We Were All Wounded at Wounded Knee' (1973)


We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
We were all wounded at Wounded Knee
You and me
In the Name of Manifest Destiny
You and me
You and me
You and me
They made us many promises
But always broke their word
They penned us in like buffalo
Drove us like a herd
And finally on the Reservation
We were going for our preservation
We were all wiped out by the Seventh Calvary
