Great Chief Blue Horse (Šúŋkawakȟáŋ Tȟó) (c. 1822-1908) was a respected Oglala Lakota leader, warrior, and statesman from the Wagluhe Band, famous for his role in the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, his service as a U.S. Army Indian Scout, and his efforts to protect his people's land, even being known for saving white settlers, earning him fame in portraits and history alongside his brother, Red Cloud, in their fight for Lakota heritage.
Key Aspects of His Life:
Treaty of Fort Laramie: Blue Horse was a signatory to this pivotal 1868 treaty, which granted the Lakota ownership of the Black Hills and vast hunting grounds, though it was later violated.

Leadership & Education: He served as Chief of the Wagluhe Band and was involved in efforts to educate his people, working alongside his brother, the famous Chief Red Cloud.
Legacy: Blue Horse's life mirrors the struggles and resilience of the Oglala Lakota through the 19th century, balancing warfare, diplomacy, and cultural preservation.
He fought his whole life to end slavery and endentured servitude of indigenous people, long after the Indian American war was lost

A: So, our president just tweeted again...
B: What's the Trumpet-in-chief come out with this time, or do I not want to know?
A: Would you look at that, our Trumpet-in-chief just managed to say something self-contradictory AND hypocritical, and in the space of only two sentences! Impressive even by his standards!
B: Damn man, give a guy a break already! Being informed about a topic like immigration, and able to talk about it without sounding like a blathering, inconsistent idiot can't be easy you know- he's only the president after all!

Get the Trumpet-in-chief mug.An outside game played with at least four people, but it is fun with more. Everyone gathers at the base, and whoever is it tells everyone to "take a hike!" Then everyone runs away from the base (and hides if they want to) while the person who is it counts to ten. Then whoever is it yells, "angel in the chapel," and tries to tag as many people as possible before they get to the base. If someone is tagged, they will also be it next round. Then you start over, but this time everyone who was tagged is now it with the first person who was it. Once one person is left untagged, they win! And if you play again, they are it this time.
Extra Rules: If you stop touching the base, you are not safe. If you keep touching the base, anyone who touches you is also safe. You can't be within 10' of the base while the it person is counting.
