Many Horses
Many Horses, also known as Rising Wolf,[1] was a holy man of the Oglala Lakota tribe.
Many Horses was interviewed by Hamlin Garland in an article that ran in McClure's in January 1899. The article was later added to Garland's book The Book of the American Indian.[2]
Many Horses was a believer in the Ghost Dance. In the spring of 1890, he organized a Ghost Dance ritual at Standing Rock Reservation to drive away the white soldiers camped nearby, but was distressed to see that they were still there at dawn the next day. He then said to the assembled people:
"I will follow the white man's trail. I will make him my friend, but I will not bend my back to his burdens. I will be cunning as a coyote. I will ask him to help me understand his ways, then I will prepare the way for my children, and their children. The Great Spirit has shown me - a day will come when they will outrun the white man in his own shoes."[3]
