My ancestors had a phrase that has become the popularized saying “today is a good day to die”

Hokahey

Crazyhorse being the badass he was, would yell it when charging into battle.

It’s not really meant as “time to die” but more of I am ready! I am brave. I am strong. I love my family and they love me. If today is the day, so be it. I am ready for judgement!

This dad is practicing what it means.

That’s awesome. Sounds like your lineage is Klingon.

The Lakota were the badasses that forced the US Army to surrender. The Dakota areas would be a much different place if they had the numbers to stop people from using the Oregon Trail.

So the Klingons using that phrase has always been a lovely thing

if they had the numbers to stop people from using the Oregon Trail.

They should’ve tried more dysentery. Worked on me.
