“I, Takanka Iyotanka, wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle.”
A remarkable person. I gladly refreshed my memory about his life after this prompting.
I did not realize he was murdered. Arrrgh. So many wrongs!
He was murdered in the process of being arrested, he refused to comply and come out of his cabin. I wrote a bit about it in this post: http://freethoughtblogs.com/affinity/2016/07/14/the-complexity-of-road-signs/
