They were both chiefs, and they came to bring us in to Pine Ridge. We had to obey. The Brules would not obey and tried to keep us from going.¹² They struck us, and there was quite a struggle for a while; but we went anyway, because we had to go.¹³ Kicking Bear stayed with the Brules that time, but he came in to Pine Ridge a little later. A very few of the Brules went along with us.
I don't understand what is happening here. It's a vague and confusing.
He was a good man and he was badly wounded that winter in the butchering of Big Foot’s band. He was a very good man, and not like the other Wasichus.*
I find it interesting that they still believed the priest was a very good man in comparison to the other Wasichus. I wonder what about him made him different?

For a while our people would not take the cattle, because there were so few of them and they were so poor. But afterwhile they had to take them or starve to death.
I wonder what they mean by the cattle being "poor"? As in poor quality/thin cattle? That's what I would assume if eating them was the last thing they had to do before starving to death.
