Asked by Wiki User

Deaths at Little Bighorn included 268 men of the US 7th Cavalry Regiment including it's Commander, Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer, and the complete annihilation of the battalion sized force directly under his command that day, and anywhere between 36 and 300 Lakota and Northern Cheyenne warriors.

Some reports also disclose an unknown number of women and children killed by Major Reno's initial volleys into the camp. Reno himself, a survivor of the action, acknowledges this but was unable to give a realistic estimate of deaths.

Who was one important leader of the Navajo Tribe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, they had naatʼáanii (leaders) such as Narbona, Manuleto, Barboncito, Hoskininni, Ganado Mucho and many others. However, the word for leader is very different than the feeling of the meaning of the English word "Chief". They lead by power of convincing followers and had no power to order people around. The had no hereditary leaders such as Scottish clans had. They had no leader that spoke for all the Navajo, just powerful men in certain areas. The very word in Navajo means one who moves something to maturity or growth not one who rules over others.

What is a summary of How the World Was Made A Cheyenne Myth as retold by Alice Marriott and Carol K Rachlin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Cheyenne creation myth as retold by Alice Marriot and Carol Rachlin is similar to the Christian creation story. It basically tells of how Maheo, the "All Spirit" created the heavens and the earth.

Maheo is the creator of all things - the All Spirit. He has the power to create anything. In his solitary existence, he decided it would be beneficial to create living things. So he created, in turn - the ocean with a sand and mud floor, water beings (fish, mussels, snails, crawfish), birds of all sorts, and light. A female snow goose came to him and asked for the ability to fly, which he granted. The birds thus took flight and darkened the sky. They grew tired, and a male loon came to him and asked for land. Maheo granted it, but to do so he needed the help of all the sea creatures, so that they might find land. The snow goose went down to the bottom of the sea - well, tried, more like. She could not find any land for Maheo to work off of. Then all of the others tried with no avail. Finally a little coot paddled to him and he too tried to find land. Unlike the others who flew and dove into the water, he just turned and swam. After being gone for an extremely long time, he returned with mud. Maheo used it to create land, using an old female turtle to put it on, forming the earth. Having done this, he gave the planet trees, grass, and flowers. He created from himself two humans - a man and a woman - to show his love for the turtle. Those two had many children (which had more, etc) and seperated. He gave the people animals to eat or use however they needed, and then the buffalo to serve all needs.
