December 21, 1866 - Fetterman Massacre Early in December the young Lakota warriors, including
Crazy Horse, executed an elaborate decoy manuever to draw soldiers out of the fort. They were very successful and killed several officers and severely wounded several other soldiers. In the next weeks an ambush was carefully planned and a location for a trap was chosen. Two thousand warriors moved south and set up camp two miles north of the chosen trap location. Ten young warriors were selected from the different tribal groups represented for the most dangerous job of decoying the soldiers. These decoys performed elaborate manuevers to lure the soldiers into the trap. When they were all inside the trap, the decoys signaled to the concealed warriors who rose up and killed all 80 of the soldiers. Nonetheless, casualties among the Indians were great because they were poorly armed to compete with the new repeating rifles of the soldiers. The Indians named this battle
The Battle of the Hundred Slain. The whites knew it as the Fetterman Massacre because the soldiers were led by Captain Fetterman, who had boasted that he could defeat the entire Sioux Nation with a single company of cavalrymen.
Col. Carrington was appalled by the mutilation of the bodies they found. Had he seen the bodies of the Indians slain at Sand Creek, the condition of these bodies would have come as no surprise.

Often times, friends of Israel invoke the tragedy of Native Americans to excuse the tragedy of Palestinians. "Your house belongs to the Lenape, give it back" is what one reader said in response to something I wrote about the dispossession of Palestinians and their right of return and restitution.
Of course, my house was not built or ever occupied by an American Indian. But there are certainly many parallels between Palestinians and Native Americans.
On December 21, 1866, in a little valley by Peno Creek, nearly one hundred American soldiers lay dead, disemboweled, dismembered and scalped. White men would come to call it the Fetterman massacre, named after the slain commander, Captain William Fetterman.
Native Americans called it the Battle of the Hundred Slain, where a coalition of Arapahos, Cheyenne and Sioux held a rare victory against invading settlers.
Colonel Carrington, who witnessed the aftermath of the battle, concluded that the Indians were savages driven by a wild impulse to commit slaughter upon the white man. But had he been near Sand Creek, less than two years earlier, he would have seen the result of a raid carried out by soldiers under the command of Colonel Chivington. He would have seen 135 mutilated Cheyenne, most of them women and children. All were scalped. One woman was ripped open exposing her unborn child.
During that massacre, Chief Black Kettle stood with squaws and children beneath the American flag, which was given to him by President Abraham Lincoln with a promise that no soldier would ever harm him or his people beneath that flag. Almost all who cowered under the flag, including babies, were shot, clubbed or knifed to death. Chief White Antelope's privates were cut off by a soldier who said he was going to make a tobacco pouch out of them.
Chivington defended the killing of all Indians that day, even babies, saying that "Nits make lice."
