Welcome to the first episode of Red Scare. In the episode, I discuss two essays on Crazy Horse and reflect on the recent passing of his Sicangu biographer, Joseph Marshall III. You can find the essays here and here. Send me questions and comments. I’ll answer them in the chat or during the next podcast episode. Pilamayayelo!

Since my previous post referenced the renowned Lakota author Joseph Marshall III, it is with great sadness that I inform you of his passing into the spirit world on April 18. It is somewhat coincidental that he departed the day following my discussion of Crazy Horse. His literary works and historical insights have profoundly influenced my perspective.

This is the first of several posts about Tasunka Witko, reflecting on Joseph Marshall III’s book, The Journey of Crazy Horse: A Lakota History. It is the most exemplary biography of Tasunka Witko. The narrative is presented from the perspective of the Lakota people and is derived from the oral histories of Lakota elders. In recent months, I have focused on reexamining Lakota texts and influential figures who have significantly impacted my perspective.
