The Cheyenne had a famous female woman too... Mochi Buffalo Calf Woman ... @diane
Also known as Buffalo Calf Woman, she survived the attacks by soldiers at Sand Creek in 1864 and the Washita River in 1868 and vowed vengeance against those who murdered her family and her people
After several small raids along the Platte River, Cheyenne, Sioux and Arapaho warriors joined together in force to hit Julesburg, where there was a stage station, store and warehouse. Camp Rankin was one mile to the west. The attacking force on January 7, 1865, included about 1,000 warriors, as well as many women, who were leading the extra horses that were needed to carry any stolen supplies back to their camp. Among these women was Mo-chi, who was always ready to help her people. She would prove herself worthy.
As a young Cheyenne girl, Mochi Buffalo Calf Woman survived the Sand Creck Massacre and later rose within the Cheyenne to become a woman warrior In 1877, she was exiled by the US Army Fort Marion, St Augustine, FL. Mochi was the only Cheyenne female specifically incarcerated us a prisoner in Florida.
Lettie June Shakespeare, Arapaho Tribe, related the story of a distant relation on her mother's side of the family, who saved many children during the massacre Account taken from Sand Creek Massacre Site Location Study, Oral History Project conducted in 1999.
