Notes	This poem is centred around 'Crazyhorse', a Lakota war hero and leader who took up arms against the United States government in the 19th Century, in order to preserve the traditional Lakota way of life. Crazyhorse was also a spiritual man who received visions and trances - which is what may be referenced here, as Crazyhorse performs some kind of spiritual dance in the wake of a conflict or battle. Dead bodies of children and blood-filled lakes are mentioned, while Crazyhorse dances with nature and the elements.
