Definitions by Many Hearts

Hoka Hey 

"Hoka hey" was the battle cry of the Teton Lakota (Western Sioux) translating loosely to "hurry hurry". It is likely that Crazy Horse would have shouted this in battle, but it was not his personal cry, as another definition has hinted at.
One would yell "Hoka hey" when charging at an enemy.
