Abstracts

EN

In the autumn of 1878, nearly 300 of the north Cheyennes, under the leadership of Little Wolf and Dull Knife, decided to escape from the nightmarish reservation in Oklahoma and to return to their homeland in Yellowstone (Wyoming). They had to march almost 2,000 kilometres to return to their beautiful country. But it was to be a road through hell. Especially for the part where Dull Knife tried to shelter from the severe winter at Fort Robinson, where the Indians of the group were slaughtered. This essay presents four works describing the dramatic and tragic moment of the history of this beautiful and proud tribe of Cheyennes: a famous historical account by Dee Brown, a historian and writer who has been interested in the fate of American Natives for nearly his whole life (Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee , 1970), the novel The Last Frontier (1941) written by the leftist writer, Howard Fast, a documentary novel by Mari Sandoz titled The Cheyenne Autumn and the famous movie under the same title by John Ford (1964).
