No one wanted the Sioux as an enemy. They were
fierce fighters. And there were a lot of them.
Sioux
Warriors: Warriors were men. They were well
trained. They did not attack close to home. Their children and wives and
the other men of the tribe were tucked far away from the battle.
Warriors stayed on the move. They attacked quickly,
and then drew back.
If a battle turned against them, they left. They
felt no need to brave it out and die. They preferred to return another
day and fight again.
Sioux warriors rode horses into battle. They used
spears and bows and arrows. When they could trade for them, they used
guns.
