    Crazy Horse, 1840 - 1877

    Today on Murderhobos: Crazy Horse, the Lakota Warrior whose leadership against the US Army in the 1870s culminated in one of the most spectacular military victories of the century. He was a ferocious fighter on the battlefield, but at home he was a quiet, generous and spiritually sensitive man who left an impression of singularness oddness to all who knew him. His untimely death in 1877 marked the end of a period of Lakota dominance of the Northern Plains. What can Crazy Horse's life teach us about the means of resistance against the American Empire and the complicated life of the free people of Great Plains?  Submit questions to murderhobospodcast@gmail.com or on our Patreon discord by March 3rd, 2026.

    Tecumseh, 1768 - 1813

    Today on Murderhobos: Tecumseh. The Shawnee diplomat, strategist and war chief, who built with his brother a powerful tribal confederacy centered around opposition to the expanding United States. Tecumseh's famous charisma and skillful leadership in the War of 1812 challenged racist assumptions of Indian manhood, American superiority, and came painfully close to derailing U.S. dominance of North America in the following decades. What can Tecumseh's life and untimely death tell us about the fragility of western colonial dominance, and the realities and plausibility of Indigenous resistence?   Submit questions to murderhobospodcast@gmail.com or on our Patreon discord by March 3rd, 2026.   Subscribe to the show on Patreon: bit.ly/murderhobospatreon.

    King Philip, 1638 - 1676

    Today on Murderhobos: King Philip. A Wampanoag Sachem, whose name became synonymous with a bloody, horrific, war that nearly destroyed the English colonies of New England. The effectiveness of the Wampanoag and allied campaign led surviving colonists to construct a popular public memory of Philip as a bloodthirsty monster: the brutal, ugly leader, of a race of so-called savages. But Philip was a real person, who lived most of his life at peace. How did his memory become so effectively attached to later racist ideas like manifest destiny and westward expansion?   Submit questions to murderhobospodcast@gmail.com or on our Patreon discord by January 13th, 2026.   Subscribe to the show on Patreon: bit.ly/murderhobospatreon.
