BELOW IS A PHOTO OF HUMP 2 AND TWO OF HIS wives. Hump 2 took his father's
name after he was killed. The "2" to identify him differently from his
father. His mother was a Cheyenne and his father was Crazy Horse's uncle.
In the Lakota culture if a man could support more than one woman, he could
have more than one wife. Support meant the ability to kill enough meat to
feed all. We did not use money nor did we understand it during our free
roaming days. To us it was just thin slices of a tree. Food and a horse to
hunt our meat with was more important. If a woman wanted to divorce her
husband she put his belongings outside the tipi and it was done. Our head
men were poor because they were required to give the most away. They kept
those that had no hunters in their tipi fed. Accumulating wealth was
frowned upon . If one was overly stingy they were shunned. We believed our
head men needed to be the bigger people and help our people stay healthy,
even at their own expense. It was the sacrifice a good head man was
required to make for his people. Trade always involved something physical.
We did not understand the value of pieces of paper called money or the
yellow rock known as gold. We considered gold too soft to have any
practical use in living life, so we did not collect it. These and other
stories can be found in our book "Crazy Horse the Lakota Warrior's Life and
Legacy" available at bookstores and online everywhere including our online
site at reelcontact.com.
