Richard Realbird: A Crow
Native Sun News Today Correspondent
As detailed in a story in this issue, there was a benefit held in Sheridan, Wyoming, raising money to help Richard Real Bird in his continuing battle against cancer.
Though Richard is a Crow, he counts many Northern Cheyenne as his good friends. So, I share some Cheyenne stories about this remarkable fellow, 80 and still going strong. For among our people, teasing, telling funny stories and laughing with one another is a form of affection, especially among cowboys who generally get tongue-tied when it comes to expressing affection.
The Real Bird clan has cut quite a swath in Indian Country, especially the horse world. Richard is now the oldest of five surviving siblings (two others have gone on the Next Camp) and these family members have all made their marks in Indian Country, standing strong together as a family.
Just a great day and wanted to share with my relatives who couldn't make it and ya'll. So happy for my brother Richard….
