Buffalo Calf Road Women
Buffalo Calf Road Woman, born around 1844, was a young Cheyenne warrior celebrated for her courage and leadership during the Battle of the Rosebud and the Battle of the Little Bighorn. She is truly an inspiration for women who desire the ability to believe in ourselves and take smart chances in life.
The Battle of the Rosebud took place in 1876 in Montana, where U.S. Army forces clashed with an alliance of Native American tribes, including the Crow, Shoshoni, Lakota Sioux, and Cheyenne, led by Crazy Horse.
During the battle, when the Cheyenne forces began to falter, Buffalo Calf Road Woman rode in to rescue her brother, reigniting their morale and helping turn the tide. While the U.S. Army referred to it as the Battle of the Rosebud, the Cheyenne called it The Fight Where the Girl Saved Her Brother.
Buffalo Calf Road Woman also fought in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, famously known as Custer's Last Stand, where the U.S. Army faced a crushing defeat at the hands of the Native American forces. In 2005, after a 150-year vow of silence, the Cheyenne people revealed that Buffalo Calf Road Woman was the one who delivered the fatal blow to General Custer, a revelation that added a legendary chapter to her already heroic legacy.
What an amazing women with amazing courage and love for herself and her people.
