Poem

Greasy Grass (AKA) Custer’s Last Stand

Listen to the warm June Wind calling
The Great Sioux Nation
The Great Cheyenne and Arapaho Nations
Calling us together to be free
Listen to the Wind calling
Gathering with might
The great Warriors and Chiefs; Sitting Bull,
Crazy Horse, Two Moon, and Painted Horse
To fight for our freedom.
Listen to the Wind calling
Let us come together to fight for our land
Then raise our lances high
And sing a song of victory
Listen to the Wind singing the victory song
For the battle of the Greasy Grass; at last,
We have won our great victory for sovereignty
Then the Wind was silent
Sandy Swallow Oglala Lakota/ Northern Cheyenne
