549. Vision and the Battle of the Hundred in the Hand (CrazyHorse 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.
