549. Mindful Storytelling – Crazy Horse’s Vision and the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand (Part 2)

In this episode of Mindfully Outdoors, we continue our deep historical journey into the life of Crazy Horse (Tȟašúŋke Witkó), focusing on the powerful vision that shaped his life and the pivotal Battle of the Hundred in the Hand (1865).
Long before Crazy Horse became one of the most respected war leaders of the Lakota, he was a quiet, observant young man marked by loss, humility, and deep spiritual awareness. Through a traditional vision quest, Crazy Horse received instructions that would guide every battle he fought — rules of restraint, humility, and protection rather than conquest.
This episode explores:
Crazy Horse’s vision quest and its spiritual meaning in Lakota culture
The historical context following the Grattan Fight (1854)
Rising tensions along the Bozeman Trail
A detailed, historically accurate account of the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand / Platte Bridge Station
How Crazy Horse led through alignment, not ego
Mindful reflections on leadership, responsibility, and integrity
Told through immersive storytelling and grounded in documented history, this episode invites listeners to slow down, listen deeply, and reflect on what it means to live in alignment with one’s values — even in times of conflict.

548. Mindful Storytelling – Crazy Horse: A Young Warrior’s Spirit (Part 1)

In this episode of the Mindful Legends series, we journey to the rolling plains of 19th-century Lakota country to meet a boy destined to become a legend: Crazy Horse. Born as Light Hair, his early years were shaped by the guidance of his mother, Rattling Blanket Woman, whose wisdom, strength, and quiet courage left an indelible mark on his spirit.
We explore his childhood, the values he inherited, the skills he learned on the plains, and the traits that would later define him as one of history’s most revered Native American leaders. Through mindful storytelling, we step into the rhythm of the land, the community, and the early experiences that molded a young boy into a visionary warrior.
