Chief Young Man Afraid of his Horses
The latter nineteenth century Oglala Lakota leader known to the whites as "Young Man Afraid of His Horse" was born about 1836 into a distinguished family of Oglala headmen.According to his father, Young Man Afraid was the fourth in a direct line of Oglala chiefs to bear the name, which is more correctly translated as They-Fear-His-Horse. After Young Man Afraid became a renowned Lakota warrior and headman in his own right, his father became known as Old Man Afraid of His Horse. Old Man Afraid (1808-1889) served as a headman and chief of the Hunkpatila band of Oglalas until the 1870s, when the Oglalas split over the creation of the Great Sioux Reservation. In 1871, the followers of the Man Afraids settled permanently at the Red Cloud Agency, later the Pine Ridge Agency. The non-treaty Oglala faction retained the Hunkpatila name and remained in the Powder River country. Young Man Afraid's Oglalas became known as the Payabya band
