Pretty Nose : A Fierce and Uncompromising Woman War Chief You Should Know

Pretty Nose (c. 1851 – after 1952) was an Arapaho woman, and according to her grandson, was a war chief who participated in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.In some sources, Pretty Nose is called Cheyenne, although she was identified as Arapaho on the basis of her red, black and white beaded cuffs. The two tribes were allies at the Battle of the Little Bighorn and are still officially grouped together as the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes.

On June 25, 1876, a battalion of the 7th Cavalry, led by George Armstrong Custer, was wiped out by an overwhelming force of Lakota, Dakota, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho.

There are many stories that come from this most famous battle of the Indian Wars. However, the most overlooked account is of the women warriors who fought alongside their male counterparts.

Minnie Hollow Wood, Moving Robe Woman, Pretty Nose (pictured), One-Who-Walks-With-The-Stars, and Buffalo Calf Road Woman were among the more notable female fighters.

Pretty Nose fought with the Cheyenne/Arapaho detachment.

One-Who-Walks-With-The-Stars (Lakota) killed two soldiers trying to flee the fight.

Minnie Hollow Wood earned a Lakota war-bonnet for her participation, a rare honor.

Lakota Moving Robe Woman fought to avenge the death of her brother.

And Cheyenne Buffalo Calf Road Woman holds the distinction of being the warrior who knocked Custer off his horse, hastening the demise of the over-confident Lt. Colonel.

Pretty Nose's grandson, Mark Soldier Wolf, became an Arapaho tribal elder who served in the US Marine Corps during the Korean War. She witnessed his return to the Wind River Indian Reservation in 1952, at the age of 101.

As if to prove that the USA officers, including George Custer, made decisions at a lower level of strategic intelligence than that of a horse, the only living being on the federal side who was neither killed nor captured during the Battle of the Little Bighorn (June 25, 1876), also called Custer's Last Stand, is the horse you see above, named, ironically, Comanche.

Comanche was the horse of one Captain Myles Keogh who, of course, died at Little Bighorn.

Frank Star Comes Out, recently elected president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, sent a letter to Guns of History, Inc. requesting the withdrawal from auction of 111 item Lakota items.

Lakota items:including a square drum, a bone dancing stick, a set of beaded buffalo horns, a ceremonial pipe, and a variety of weapons and objects, including a rattle attributed to Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull who lead his people in resistance against United States government policies and incursions into the Black Hills of what is now known as South Dakota. The catalogue also contains weapons alleged to have belonged to Oglala leaders Crazy Horse, who led a counterattack against Lt. Colonel George Custer’s 7th Cavalry, and Red Cloud, who defeated the US during Red Cloud’s War.

Did Buffalo Bill invent the Wild West?

Buffalo Bill is often accused of having invented a fake Wild West in his shows but TV historian Tony McMahon begs to differ

You’ve heard of Annie Oakley, Calamity Jane, Chief Sitting Bull, and of course – Buffalo Bill. Those great heroes of the Wild West who created the United States of America. Frontier folk laughing in the face of danger. Battling the fearsome Sioux and Cheyenne. Free spirits living by their own code of honour at the expanding new frontiers of America.

My late father, who was raised on the Standing Rock Reservation, was born just 16 years after 'Rain-in-the-Face' died and many people still remembered him personally and still talked about him.

He looks like a very pleasant man, but when I would throw a tantrum as a small child, my father would call me "Little Chief Rain-in-the-Face."

From the Battle of Little Big Horn “I had sung the war song, I had smelt power smoke, my heart was bad--I was like one who has no mind. I rushed in and took their flag; my pony fell dead as I took it. I cut the thong that bound me; I jumped up and brained the sword flag man with my war club, and ran back to our line with the flag. I was mad, I got a fresh pony and rushed back shooting, cutting and slashing. This pony was shot and I got another. This time I saw Little Hair (Tom Custer)--I remembered my vow, I was crazy; I feared nothing. I knew nothing would hurt me for I had my white weasel tail on. I didn't know how many I killed trying to get at him. He knew me. I laughed at him and yelled at him. I saw his mouth move but there was so much noise I couldn't hear his voice. He was afraid. When I got near enough I shot him with my revolver. My gun was gone. I didn't know where. I got back on my pony and rode off. I was satisfied and sick of fighting." Itoηagaju (Rain-in-the-Face) Lakota , 1835-1905

White Moon was 77 years old when he participated with fellow Northern Cheyenne Wooden Leg, Little Sun, Wolf Chief and Big Beaver at the 51st Little Bighorn Battle Reunion.

He died in May 1931.
