The all that I know about her that's "she was at one time the only woman in her tribe entitled to wear a warbonnet. She earned this right by taking part in combat against the U.S. Cavalry" according to Rayna Green.
First among the Plains Indians, the women were allowed sometimes to wear headdresses of her husbands, fathers, brothers in Scalp Dances. Thus surely she wasn't the only woman who had right to wearing warbonnet.
Now I'm curious what was that she did in the Custer Battle?
Welcome any comments and thoughts!
Sincerely:
Agnes
