A Good Day To Die
Q: HI - I was reading your response to the hoka hey
question - I have wondered
for years and still can not find the answer - do you
know how to translate
"today is a good day to die."
I assume he would have said this in Lakota but I
have never seen it written?

A: There's more than one way to say that in Lakota, and I
don't know which words it was that Crazy Horse used,
but I've heard "t'epi kin he waste le anpetu" in
Lakota, which means "this is a good day to die."
Hope that helps!
