Hunkpapa Lakota War Chief Crow King sporting two battle dress uniforms. He’s wearing the traditional Lakota chest shield and the captured jacket of a 7th Cavalry officer he defeated at Little Bighorn. Crow King served as one of Sitting Bull’s war chiefs of Northern Nation Forces.
The Northern Nation was an imposing alliance of plains tribesmen from the Arapaho, Northern Cheyenne and Lakota coalition forces. 10,000 warriors deep. The Northern Nation defeated Custer at LittleBighorn. Our finest hour.
Hunkpapa Lakota War Chief Gall. Orphaned at an early age he was adopted by Sitting Bull. He then went on to serve as one of Sitting Bull’s Northern Nation war chiefs. Gall and Crazy Horse surrounded the 7th Cav at LittleBighorn and annihilated Custer’s command. #Victory
