Of three hundred people, there were eighty warriors . They had only a few thin ponies and no provisions . On the second day of their journey, two companies of cavalry caught up with them at the Little Medicine Lodge River . Little Wolf ordered his warriors to hold their fire until fired upon . He said ; "I will go out and talk to them . If they shoot, I will be the first man killed ." 'From the side of the cavalry, Ghost Man, an Arapaho scout shouted, " . . . . .If you`will surrender and return to the reservation, they will give you rations and treat you well ." Little Wolf answered cautiously, "Tell them that eve do not want to fight ; that we will not go back . We are leaving this country . I have no quarrel with anyone . I hold up my right hand that I do not wish to fight with the whites ; but we are going to our home to stay there . Then Ghose Man went back toward the troops and Little Wolf followed for parley . A soldier shot at him, and the fight was on . Cheyennes drove the cavairy away from their camp . The next morning, the cavalry was beaten off again . At noon, the soldiers quit fighting in obedience to a bugle call . The next morning, the Cheyennes again started on their way . On the Arkansas, the Cheyennes met a party of hide hunters and captured them . They took the guns and eighteen buffalo and let the men go . Then the Cheyennes feasted for the first time since they had come south . liven Dull Knife became somewhat cheerful . The next day, the men hunted and the women made breastworks on the love hills in back of the camp . The Cheyennes sent scouts back who returned after they found soldiers following their trail on their second day in c .amp . :The_,Cheyenne went behind the breastworks and vuaited . Soldiers advanced and fired, and the I I Cheyennes fired back at Little rlolf's order--no sooner . The soldiers retreated, and that night the Cheyennes left that camp and headed further no?:th . In the meantime, the telegraph wires were buzzing with the messages WATCH OUT FOF2 1HE CHEYENNES' . Five great forces, a total of 13 thousand soldiers opposed the Cheyenne fight . Yet even with this message out all over the country, the Cheyennes managed to sneak right through some . troops . Near Oglala, on the South Platte, they forded the stream . in small grou»s at a point midway between two cavalry camps . They wrapped their ponies' hooves in .trips of blankets to muffle the sound and SITTING BULL - HUNKPAPA passed within 100 yards of the pickets . Once across the stream and away from the cavalry camp, they reunited . At White Clay Creek, the trail forked for the Cheyennes . Dull Knife and 150 Cheyennes headed toward the Re3 Cloud Agency to surrender . The rest continued north . Little Wolf did not ~.vant the party to divide,' but divide it did ; and Little Wolf set up his camp that winter in the Sand ItiOTJSfi OF UMOJA Hills . Little Wolf's camp was not discov- P " O " BOX 15187 eyed all winter . Those who were sent ~S~,,rj FRANCISCO, to find him gave up . But as Little Wo1F pushed on, Clark, who had been . at the Red Cloud Agency to find it abandoned . Confused by thiG turn o .f events, the group continued to Fort Ribinson and surrendered there . For two months, they staved there happiiy until Captain Wessels, the Commanding Officer, got this order : SE1QD '1I-IE CHEYENNES BACK TD DARLINGTON . When Dull Knife was told of this order from Washington, he answered : "VJe will net go back there to live . This is not a healthful country ; if : we should stay there we would : ail die . We do not wish to go back there, and we will not go ." For a week, Ca,"Wain,Wessels hammered at . the Chief, . trying to make him change his mind . Finally, Wessels lost patience with the "stubborn old fool" and ordered all the Indians into a freezing barracks with neither food nor water . 7he- thermometer stood at 40 below zero . At the end of five days and nights the Cheyenne broke out of their prison and rushed forth into the night . The cavalry persued, firing at the Indians as enemies of war . A .few escaped only to be found themselves completely surrounded, they fired upon the cavalry with their last three shots, eac}r hitting its target . Then the cavalry advanced oral the Indians rushed toward them with hunting knives and anything that could be used as weapons . Before the Cheyennes advanced many paces ; the soldiers fixed, and it was all over . Nine prisoners were taken--one man and eight women, five of whom were wounded . In his report, the command ing officer wrote , "The Cheyennes fought with extraordinary courage and firmness and refused all terms but death ."

BLACK MAN (To "Soul Man" by Sam and Dave) Want some power In the ghetto And when I get it Ain't gonna let go I'm bad and bold Ain't 'fraid of nothing So don't worry Cause I'm coming I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I got my courage The hard way And I'm getting bolder Each and every day So watch me now And I'll make a bet That you ain't seen Nothing yet I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I was brought up On a side street I learned how to fight Before I could eat When I hit the Beast Just watch him drop When I fight Whitey Oh I can't stop I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man I'm a Black Man Grap a rope And I'll set you free All I want Is liberty I'm a Black man FADING AWAY (To the tune by the Temptations) The Soul of our Slackness, Bm When we were in Africa Is lost in America It's fading away Fading away Fading away And the peace that we used to see When we lived in harmony Ts gone with our liberty It's fading away Fading away Fading away We're slaves and it's showing, baby We're slaves and it's showing, tell me Where is our Soul going? Like the time when we ruled the earth And we thought we'd proved our worth Was ruined by the white man's birth It's fading away Fading away Fading away And the strength of our father's arms The grace of our mother's charms Was killed on the southern farms It's fading away Fading away Fading away We're slaves and it's showing baby We're slaves and it's showing, tell me Where is our Soul going? Like war in old Africa Like peace in America The Soul of our Blackness, Gro Is fading away Fading away Fading away PAGB ~:BLACK POWER WES MONTGOMERY y
