简介
‘疯马’是拉科塔语,这名字并不表示他的马疯了,黑麋鹿解释道:“而是他的马在梦中以古怪的方式跳舞”。
疯马,原名Tashunca-Uitco(苏语:Tȟašúŋke Witkó),后改称Crazy Horse,是北美洲原住民民族苏族奥格拉拉部落首领,军事家,北美印第安战争的灵魂人物之一。
他在美国西部地区抵抗白人的入侵,以作战勇敢著称。最有名的战役是在蒙大拿州小巨角河战役,他的印第安人军队歼灭了美国白人卡斯特的军队并杀死卡斯特。后来又率领印第安人打了几次战役,他在1877年被美国士兵暗杀。
苏族
苏族根据方言划分为达科塔、纳科塔、拉科塔三个主要种群,但其下还有很多分支。苏族人的骑术非常高超,因能够一边骑著马快速宾士,一边准确地射箭和开枪而著名。苏族人没有马镫,但丝毫不影响他们超的骑术和精准的骑射,加之又得到了一部分火器(包括当时非常先进的连发步枪),被认为是世界上最优秀的骑兵——但也是最后一个马背上的民族。
生平
疯马曾与奥格拉拉族头目“红云”、萨满巫师“坐牛”一同在美西地区抵抗白人的入侵。其参与过最有名的战役是为了保护圣地而战的小大角战役。
他们率领数千名印第安人,以优势兵力,在黑山山谷中歼灭了知名的美国第1骑兵师第7骑兵团(美国第7骑兵团)两百馀骑兵,击杀了该骑兵团指挥官卡士达,并伐取了其首级。
