photos of Strong Left Hand (Cheyenne), 1906:

Hote-Ne-A-Ate-Zi lost her first [of seven] husbands at the battle of the Little Bighorn. She is said to have admitted scalping and mutilating dead soldiers of the Seventh Cavalry after the battle, [as revenge for the US military’s similar treatment of Cheyenne dead after the Sand Creek Massacre].

She is the mother of fifteen daughters and two sons…[and is] a lovable, jovial old soul.
