Product Information

Bloody Knife was not a full blooded Arikara; only his mother belonged to that tribe while his father was a Hunkapapa Sioux, the same tribe to which the famous war chief and architect of Custer’s destruction, Sitting Bull, belonged. But Bloody Knife’s lineage was not a happy story. In fact, it shaped his destiny in an extremely unfortunate way. It’s difficult to understand how Bloody Knife’s parents even came to be joined together. The Arikara and Sioux were not always friendly, and the Sioux derisively called the other tribe “Corn Eaters.”(1) This no doubt affected Sioux opinion of Bloody Knife, and from the time he was born, it was an uphill battle in attempting to gain the acceptance of his father’s people. As noted by historian Evan S. Connell, “He was taunted, abused, humiliated. Gall, later to become one of the most famous Sioux warriors, especially disliked him. In 1856 Bloody Knife’s mother left the Unkapapa camp for a visit with her own people who lived farther east, perhaps as a way of resolving the unhappy situation. She took her sons, leaving a husband and probably a daughter, and it appears she did not return.”(2) At 15 or 16, Bloody Knife was already a victim of childhood bullying, the product of a broken home and the subject of racial animosity. a b Lehman, Tim (2010).

[7] Bloody Knife enlisted as a corporal at Fort Stevenson in May 1868, but his early service was not without issue. Bloody Knife had a problem with alcohol that may have led to him deserting his post in September 1868. By 1872, the year of his involvement in the Yellowstone Expedition, he became a lance corporal.

Bloody Knife scalped.Bloody Knife ( Sioux: Tȟamila Wewe; Arikara: NeesiRAhpát; ca. 1840 – June 25, 1876) was an American Indian who served as a scout and guide for the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment. [1] [2] He was the favorite scout of Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer and has been called "perhaps the most famous Native American scout to serve the U.S. Army."

In 1876, during the Little Bighorn campaign, Bloody Knife repeatedly tried to warn Custer there were too many Indians to fight. In spite of the overwhelming odds, he refused to stay out of the battle. By some accounts, before the battle began, Bloody Knife signaled to the sun with his hands, "I shall not see you go down behind the hills tonight." [3] The way you start is not the way you have to finish. This lesson, tragically, was one that was never learned by George Custer’s favorite scout, an Arikara Indian with the unfortunate moniker of Bloody Knife.
