2023 Silver Native American Chief Series: Crazy Horse from Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation 1oz Antiqued Coin MS69 Ultra High Relief (UHR) NGC Native American Label with Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and Empty Original Government Packaging (OGP)

Crazy Horse or Tasunke Witco was born into the Oglala Lakota tribe on Rapid Creek about 40 miles northeast of Thunderhead Mt. (now Crazy Horse Mountain) in c. 1840. It was a time when cultures clashed, and land became an issue of deadly contention and traditional Native ways were threatened and oppressed. Crazy Horse died at some point later on the night of September 6, 1877, at the age of 35, lying on the bare floor in Fort Robinson, Nebraska. His body was taken away by Sioux and buried at an unknown location near a creek called Wounded Knee. Crazy Horse is remembered for his courage, leadership and his tenacity of spirit in the face of near-impossible odds.
