Subject: Scenario Name
I know this could be conceived as kinda off topic, but I'm after a scenario name featuring a last stand and I'm trying to remember what the Indian word was for "Today is a good day to die". Any suggestions? Dave

> I know this could be conceived as kinda off topic, but I'm after a Good question! I thought I had a definitive answer in my Robbie Robinson cd (music for the native americans) but it's rather unclear. There is a song in this collection called 'It is a Good Day to Die', and is about Crazy Horse's last stand. There is a quote from Black Elk in the cd jacket: "Then another great cry went up out in the dust: 'Crazy Horse is coming! Crazy Horse is coming!' Off toward the west and north, they were yelling, 'Hoka Hey!' like a big wind roaring, and making the tremolo: and you could hear eagle bone whistles screaming." It's only a guess, but..maybe 'hoka hey'?? (I'm probably wrong and it prolly means something *entirely* different, but that's what my inter- pretation of what I have here says) Mk
