Elk & Family,” (Stories of Old Warriors) Hehaka Duza (Elk, Swift) talks to Welch, September 12th, 1922: Hobu (Bristling, aka Arrows Walking) got his name this way. He was shot by the enemy so many times. He had a lot of arrows sticking in him. He was a great warrior then. They called him Bristling for that. Some other people call him Wahinkpe Mani (Walking Arrow), too. The man Crow, whose picture you show me, wears those things in his hair. They are stripped feathers. He was shot by two arrows once. He pulled them both through. He did not break them. Off. So he can wear the quill of the eagle feathers for each one. When the soldier, Crook, was taking our horses away at Fort Yates (after Little Big Horn), myself and some more of us got away and went up the east side of the Missouri river. We took a lot of horses with us. He did not get them. We went north that time. We found many buffalo and got along all right. We went to the Pabaksa camp and were gone a long time. @CherokeeOwl 🦉 @BrettColdwell
