Undoubtedly the greatest Sioux war leader and the symbol of Indian resistance to the white man's expansion, Crazy Horse was also known to his people as 'the strange man of the Oglala'. A modest, unusually quiet man, he was also revered as a great mystic. His very physical appearance was unique among the Indians. His hair was light-coloured, his skin was pale and he never wore the battle honors that suited his rank.

He was known to go to war dressed only in a breechclout and mocassins. Tied onto his unbraided hair was the skin of a red-backed hawk together with a single eagle tail feather. A small brown pebble hung behind his left ear. White hailspots were dotted across his body and a streak of lightning ran from his forehead to his chin. All these attributes were part of his vision medecine as was the brown stone slung under his left armpit on a buckskin thong. The wing bone whistle hanging on his chest came from the same eagle which provided the feather. The scar on his left cheek was caused by a pistol shot from No Water in a dispute over the latter's wife.
