A distant relative of mine. He served in the U.S. Navy in the Spanish American War. During WWI, he, and others of different Native American Nations patrolled the southern border to prevent the German forces from entering into the United States. A very real threat at the time. I am proud to have known him, and to be a relative of this wonderful man. Rest well Tonkshila Tokala Luta.
Finally, a mystery has been solved for me. When I was much younger I remember seeing an Indian chief on Johnny Carson who had said he was a young boy in the village during the Little Big Horn. That always impressed me and I always wished to have the chance to speak with him. However, the only Native American I can remember being on the show was Chief Dan George. The problem obviously being that he was born years too late and that he was a member of the Salish tribe. Now, after all these years I know that person was Chief Red Fox. Cool.
For those who don't know - Custer and some 200 men in his battalion were attacked by as many as 3,000 Native Americans; within an hour, Custer and all of his soldiers were dead. I think that qualifies as a massacre.

@darz3829 The natives did not attack Custer and his troops as you falsely stated. The opposite happened. Custer and his troops attacked the natives. But I'm sure you already knew that, didn't you? Troll.
No offense to Native Americans, but the early arrivals of people from Europe were often times met with murder and slaughter. Imagine moving into a neighborhood and having that happen as a result.

Thank you so much for sharing.🦊
True American Hero ❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I loved him on Sanford and Son. "This is the big one, Elizabeth! I'm comin' to join you!"
Excellent
My dad served in the US Navy with Redfox’s son during WW2, and always said nice things about him.
good video!!! sounds like "the world's most interesting man" as he did so many things!
GREAT MAN
GREAT VIDEO
He once got my parents a table at a swanky restaurant when none were available. He told the matire d "I have a reservation!!"
106. Wow!
When late night was entertainment, and not political trash.
He knew my grandmother Mary Dee McDonald in Corpus Christi.
Thank you. Unfortunately I missed all this history, even though I was around through the 50s.and beyond. Public schools in my area were racist.
Great Thunderbird
He used to sell tickets to sold out dames and concerts. They called him a "scalper!!!"

I'm guessing you are trying to be a UA-cam troll. Am I right? C'mon give an honest answer.

@@LucidDreamer54321 Well, then maybe you can explain how Custer and his men died if they were NOT attacked? Go ahead, you nice person.
@darz3829 OMG, you are truly deranged. But thank you for confirming that you are a troll.

Pine Ridge is a total shîthole now.
