Chief Crazy Horse (1955)

James Millican: Gen. Crook

Quotes 

• Gen. Crook : Why hunt buffalo? We're giving your people what they need.

  Chief Crazy Horse : But with my people, the buffalo hunt isn't the same as that with white. We don't hang the buffalo's head on a pole in the lodge and boast of our hunting skill. By eating his flesh, our flesh becomes strong. His skin makes our clothing, his bones our arrows, his hair makes the ropes for our horses. Even the covering on our feet comes from him. The buffalo is truly our friend... sent to give us life. Take this hunt from us and we are no longer Lakotas. We're no longer men. We're nameless and dead.
