His father was Old-man-afraid-of-his-horses. He was an Oglala chief and took part in Red Clouds war in the 1860s against the whites. At the end of the 1870s Young Man became a strong friend to the whites. He became responsibel to the Pine Ridge Indian Council and made many trips to Washington D.C. As the Ghost Dance reached its climax among the Sioux tribes, he did´nt want to take part of it and rode to Wyoming to hunt. After the massacre at Wounded Knee, Young Man asked his people to surrender. He understood that that was the only way to save his peoples lives. He also helped his people in the negotiations with the governement and the result was better than one expected was possible. Young Man Afraid of His Horses was not popular among all of the Oglala Siouxs because of his friendly attitude to white people. He is buried at the Makansan Presbyterian Cemetery west of the town Oglala in South Dakota.
Hans far var Old-man-afraid-of-his-horses. Han var Oglala-hövding och deltog under Red Clouds krig på 1860-talet mot de vita. I slutet av 1870 blev Young Man en stark vän till de vita. Han blev ansvarig för Pine Ridge Indian Council och gjorde många resor till Washington D.C. När andedansen kulminerade bland siouxerna, ville han inte delta utan red till Wyoming för att jaga. Efter massakern vid Wounded Knee, bad Young Man sitt folk att ge upp. Han förstod att det var enda sättet att rädda livet på sitt folk. Han hjälpte till att förhandla fram ett bättre fördrag mellan regeringen och sioux-indianerna än man trodde var möjligt. Young Man Afraid of His Horses var inte omtyckt av alla Oglalasiouxer p.g.av sin vänliga inställning till vita. Han ligger begraven på Makansan Presbyterian Cemetery väster om staden Oglala i South Dakota.
