Logan Curley Sr., 62, of Lame Deer, passed away peacefully in his home on Jan. 27, 2013, with his son Logan Jr. and nephew Clayton Mason at his side.
His Cheyenne Indian name was Ve'pah^hooo^pse or "Hollow Wood." He was born on Feb. 10, 1950, in Crow Agency, a son of Joseph Curley Sr. and Irene Sanchez-Curley, he was raised and received his education in Busby. During his high school years, he was a very good athlete, competing in basketball, football and cross-country. He excelled in cross-country, winning many of the meets that he competed in and he helped his team bring home state championships to Busby.
In 1968, he enlisted in the Air Force and was sent to Vietnam. In 1970, he received a medical discharge and returned home. In 1973, he met June Limberhand and from that relationship one son was born, Logan Curley Jr. A few years later, he met Pat Little Bird and from this relationship, his second son, Lee Michael, was born. During this time, Logan became very active in the AIM Movement and spent time all over the country traveling with the likes of Russell Means, Dennis Banks and others advocating for equality for all Native Americans. He participated in the Longest Walk, in which this group walked from the banks of Alcatraz in California to Washington, D.C. Upon returning home, he met Valarie Trujillo, and they were blessed with two girls, Melinda and Audrey.
Logan became very active in the Cheyenne Ceremonies, participating in the annual Sundances completing his vow to his parents to help his "Cheyenne people." Once he completed these ceremonies, he traveled to Oklahoma and spent time with "Junior" Red Hat and Terry Wilson, participating in the Arrow Worship Ceremony. He was deemed a Cheyenne Medicine Man and began traveling all over the country Doctoring and performing Healing ceremonies with people helping them to get well using his gift of Native American medicine. In 1993, he was very proud that he was able to help his tribe bring back the remains of our ancestors and assist in the Burial Ceremony in Busby. He was an active father, uncle, brother and friend, who tirelessly cared for his family and friends helping in any way that he could. His hobbies included horseshoes, hand games, storytelling and spending time with all his friends at Charging Horse.
