Sin embargo, mucha gente no sabe que su nombre de niño era Rizos, inspirado por su cabello rizado. Rizos fue un líder incluso cuando era un niño, domaba caballos salvajes y cazaba poderosos búfalos. Pero toda su valentía no pudo prepararlo para los problemas que él y los otros Lakotas enfrentarían con los colonos blancos. Queriendo ayudar a su gente después de una feroz batalla que hirió de muerte al jefe Oso Conquistador, Rizos desafió la costumbre tradicional y arriesgó su propia vida al huir a las colinas en busca de una visión.

But all his bravery could not prepare him for the trouble he and the other Lakota Indians would face with the white settlers. Wanting to help his people after a fierce battle that mortally wounded Chief Conquering Bear, Curly defied traditional custom and risked his own life by running away, up to the hills, to seek a vision. Renowned Abenaki author Joseph Bruchac tells a gripping and compelling story of how the dedicated young boy, Curly, grows into the brave warrior Crazy Horse. Sioux artist S.D.
