There were many more white men than red men at any one place. Each thought the other primitive.Įven in Crazy Horse’s youth the demographics were clear. The linguistic and cultural barriers provided much room for misunderstanding and conflict, as did the sense of superiority held both by the Sioux and the Europeans. There were many conflicts, first, with the traditional enemies the Crow, Pawnee, and Utes for hunting grounds and winter quarters there were few with the immigrants who passed though but when the army began to build forts the conflicts with the immigrants and army increased. These changes coincided with Crazy Horse’s manhood. Second, after the end of Civil War the trickle became a flood. There had long been a trickle of European immigrants travelling west on the Holy Trail in the Platte River Valley, but the trickle changed after 1865 in two ways: first, Europeans established ever more permanent settlements along the way. Aloof, he played little role in the tribe, though his father and brothers were leaders. Set apart from birth by appearance he became moody teenage loner, often preferring his own company to that of his peers. When he was teenager a European described him as an albino with red eyes. There is no reason to suppose any European connection in his gene pool, just an aberration like Peter the Great’s height. He was of fair hair and fair skin relative to his people.
