Yellow Wolf left to history one of the few narratives of the final days of the Long March of Chief Joseph, describing the harsh days before the Nez Perces' surrender to General Nelson A. Miles.
Born Hermene Moxmox, a nephew of Chief Joseph, Yellow Wolf was a warrior during the Nez Perces' Long March; he was only twenty-one years of age at that time.
He had already earned a reputation among the Nez Perce as a hunter and sharpshooter. He was also an expert at training horses.
During the last battle of the Long March, between September 30 and October 5, 1877, Joseph and most of the survivors decided to surrender.
A small band, including Yellow Wolf, escaped and took refuge with Sitting Bull's Hunkpapas in Canada.
Yellow Wolf's recollections are contained in Lucullus McWhorter's book, Yellow Wolf (1940).
Yellow Wolf died at Colville, Washington, in 1935, shortly after completing the Narrative for the book.

If you forgot who you are, remember it's never too late to come home. Home is your heart and who you really are, your nagi your spirit, that small child inside that is close to tunkasila!
These drugs, alcohol and messed up teachings lead you away from who you really are.
I see who you are deep down beneath the fake facade! You had to be someone else to survive and i get it. But you forgot to come home, its time to come home! You need you now more then ever, we need you now more then ever!

Spotted Tail (Siŋté Glešká) ("Jumping Buffalo"); born c. 1823–died August 5, 1881 was a Brulé Lakota tribal chief. Although a great warrior in his youth, and having taken part in the Grattan massacre, he declined to participate in Red Cloud's War. He had become convinced of the futility of opposing the white incursions into his homeland; he became a statesman, speaking for peace and defending the rights of his tribe. He made several trips to Washington, D.C. in the 1870s to represent his people, and was noted for his interest in bringing education to his people.
The young man took his warrior name, Spotted Tail, after receiving a gift of a raccoon tail from a white trapper; he sometimes wore a raccoon tail in his war bonnet. He took part in the Grattan Massacre.
Two of his sisters, Iron Between Horns and Kills Enemy, were married to the elder Crazy Horse, in what was traditional practice for elite men. Spotted Tail may have been the maternal uncle of the famous warrior Crazy Horse, which meant he was a relative of the notable Touch the Clouds as well.
On August 5, 1881, after a long simmering feud, Crow Dog, a Brulé Lakota shot and killed Chief Spotted Tail on the Rosebud Indian Reservation for reasons that have been disputed. Crow Dog was arrested and tried in a territorial court in Deadwood, Dakota Territory, and found guilty of murder and sentenced to hang. In the case of Ex parte Crow Dog the United States Supreme Court overturned the verdict because the Deadwood Court had no jurisdiction in a case of one Native killing another on reservation lands. Crow Dog was released and returned to the Rosebud.

Message from the Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers:
"As you move through these changing times... be easy on yourself and be easy on one another. You are at the beginning of something new. You are learning a new way of being. You will find that you are working less in the yang modes that you are used to.
You will stop working so hard at getting from point A to point B the way you have in the past, but instead, will spend more time experiencing yourself in the whole, and your place in it.
Instead of traveling to a goal out there, you will voyage deeper into yourself. Your mother's grandmother knew how to do this. Your ancestors from long ago knew how to do this. They knew the power of the feminine principle... and because you carry their DNA in your body, this wisdom and this way of being is within you.
Call on it. Call it up. Invite your ancestors in. As the yang based habits and the decaying institutions on our planet begin to crumble, look up. A breeze is stirring. Feel the sun on your wings."

I am just a wanderer here on earth,
A wandering soul,
When my time is up,
I'll quietly return home.
My soul will be free,
Like the morning wind,
I watch as day gives way to night,
Those who can no longer be here with me,
I know they're waiting for me to come home.
See you on the other side,
We'll be together again, like we used to be,
When I fought all my battles here.
My Own Poem.

Ola Mildred Rexroat (August 28, 1917 – June 28, 2017) was the only Native American woman to serve in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP).
Rexroat was born in Argonia, Kansas, to a Euro-American father and an Oglala mother. The family moved to South Dakota when she was young, and she spent at least part of her youth on the Pine Ridge Reservation. She attended public school in Wynona, Oklahoma, for a time, and graduated from the St. Mary's Episcopal Indian School in Springfield, South Dakota, in 1932. Rexroat initially enrolled in a teachers college in Chadron, Nebraska, but left before completing her degree to work for what is now the Bureau of Indian Affairs for a year. She earned a bachelor's degree in art from the University of New Mexico in 1939. After college, she again worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Gallup, New Mexico for a year.
Rexroat next worked for engineers building airfields, where she decided to learn how to fly. In order to do so, she would need her own airplane or to join the WASPs. Selecting the latter, she moved to Washington, D.C., with her mother and sisters, and was also employed at the Army War College. Rexroat then went for WASP training in Sweetwater, Texas, and was assigned the dangerous job of towing targets for aerial gunnery students at Eagle Pass Army Airfield after her graduation. She also helped transport cargo and personnel. When the WASPs were disbanded in December 1944, she joined the Air Force, where she served for ten years as an air traffic controller at Kirkland Air Force Base in New Mexico during the Korean War. She continued to work as an air traffic controller for the Federal Aviation Administration for 33 years after her time in the Air Force Reserves was complete.
In 2007 she was inducted into the South Dakota Aviation Hall of Fame.
Rexroat died in June 2017 at the age of 99. Immediately before her death she was the last surviving WASP in South Dakota and one of 275 living WASPs out of the original 1,074. Several months after her death, the airfield operations building at Ellsworth Air Force Base was named after her.
