about
William Horn Cloud (known as William 'Horncloud') was born in 1905 (some sources say 1907), Medicine District, Pine Ridge, Potato Creek, South Dakota and died in 1992. He was born to Joseph Horn Cloud and Mildred Beautiful Bald Eagle. His father Joseph witnessed and survived the Wounded Knee Massacre. Horncloud learned many traditional songs through Lakota elders. He was known in the pow wow circuit as a singer, dancer, orator and interpreter of traditional Lakota songs and culture who greatly contributed to preserving Lakota, Sioux culture and tradition. Johnny Cash would visit with Horncloud and play songs. Horncloud recorded the album 'Sioux Songs of War and Love' which was released in 1971 on the Canyon Records label (cr-6150), as well as the albums 'Sings Sioux Rabbit Songs' and 'Sioux Love Song/ Rabbit Dance Song'. More recently, Canyon Records released a compact disc entitled 'Traditional Lakota Songs' which has tracks from 'Sioux Songs of War and Love. Both albums contain the track entitled 'Honoring Song' featuring Hornclouds 86-year-old father-in-law Chief Charles Red Cloud of Pine Ridge South Dakota singing his grandfathers song who was Red Cloud (of the Bozeman War 1866-1868) with the words telling the difficulty of being Indian in a white man's world. Also, Horncloud's recording of the traditional Lakota 'love song' is re-worked with added tracks by Kevin Locke (musician) under the title 'Nióiye Wéksuye' from the album 'Lightning and Wind: The Voice and Flute of
