MEMBER OF THE DREADED CHEYENNE 'DOG SOLDIERS':

 MEMBER OF THE DREADED CHEYENNE 'DOG SOLDIERS':

It is written in some texts that they participated in Battle of the Greasy Grass (Little Big Horn). They did not. The Cheyenne contingent at Greasy Grass were Northern Cheyenne; a different tribe, with their own dialect and religious practices. Dog Soldiers (Southern Cheyenne), also referred to as 'Dog leash men' (they wore a leash, similar to the Lakota 'sash wearers') took responsibility for the tribe's security, both internal and external. Selected for bravery, discipline and fighting skills, they maintained order in the camp.


If a hunt was planned, they would see to it that pairs of young warriors, did not sneak off to go out and get the first kill for example. Similarly, when instructions were given to break camp, they would do a full perimeter inspection and literally whip stragglers to pack up with the other people. In battles, designated Dogmen were appointed to pin themselves to the ground (via leash and cattle pin) and fight to the death if necessary, allowing the main body to withdraw from the scene unhindered. They could not leave that dead ground under their feet, unless relieved by another Dog Soldier, or their party had departed completely.
