After the assassination of Sitting Bull on December 15th, 1890,  Chief Bigfoot's doomed band fled to the safety of the Red Cloud Agency at Pine Ridge but were intercepted by the 7th Calvary along this valley of Porcupine Creek and escorted to a camp seven miles south of here to the creek called Wounded Knee.   At the head of nearby Wounded Knee Creek, the grieving parents of Crazy Horse secretly returned his body to the earth.* An army guard named William Gentles, had stabbed Crazy Horse through the side as his arms were held behind him. Crazy Horse's dying thoughts were for the well being of his people. He told his father, "Tell the people it is of no use now for them to depend upon me." (85) His memory remains a powerful symbol. The descendants of Crazy Horse fought a decades long battle to halt the use of his name and imaginary image to promote the sale of malt liquor. After the Stroh  Brewery Company purchased G. Heilman Brewing Company in 1996 the Stroh family worked to settle the dispute over "Crazy Horse Malt Liquor."  In 2001,  John Stroh III read an apology to the family of Crazy Horse and gave a gift of seven horses, thirty-two blankets and thirty-two braids of sweetgrass and tobacco, to settle the suit.  Seth Big Crow,  administrator  of the Crazy Horse estate accepted and acknowledged the importance of the apology to the Lakota People.
