Sitting Wolf

NOTE: My New Year resolution for 2026 is to give up sugar. I have diabetes anyway, and have to avoid sugar per doctor’s orders. Then, I explain my Native American Indian name at the bottom; last article.

I’m A Dylan Fan

Ferdie Delery (Dec. 30, 2025) — Bob Dylan was married to one of my cousins (a step cousin). I was reminded of this when I saw last year’s Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown. I am now sadly reading more and more that Bob Dylan is not a nice guy. Since his music is so great, l have always thought that he was fabulous. No! No! No! After seeing the movie, I am learning that he is terrible to people, rude and arrogant. Aww, man! I never knew.

I always thought Dylan was for the little man.
A Complete Unknown… like a rolling stone.

Me and Music

I initially obtained my interest in trumpet and my desire to “delve into music” from my grandfather Sidney Cates, Jr. He was the leader of the Moonlight Serenaders band in New Orleans which sometimes practiced in his living room. At 5 yrs old, I tended sometimes to hide behind the sofa while he and the band practiced. I fell in love with the sound of the trumpets. My dad bought me a trumpet when I was 7. I subsequently played in my grammar school, high school and college bands — some stage bands too.

The “Moonlight Serenaders” in New Orleans refers to historical jazz/swing bands in New Orleans, including Sidney Cates’ Moonlight Serenaders in the 1940s and ’50s..

Before I explain my Indian name, I wanted to express how I feel in these days. I wonder if I am in the minority of who feels like this guy ⬇️. This is true.

However, when I venture out…

My Indian Name ⬇️ at the bottom

Ferdie Delery (October 26, 2023) — I post a quickie video in the interim about a grocery basket rear-end booty clobber (see video below and the article) with an even clearer explanation coming soon. I will notify y’all with a link once the full explanation is published here. Thank you!

and…

Gazette (2023) — I have to write an explanation about my video here in which I tell about the grocery-line argument between me and a knucklehead who called security on me. My video explanation here does not do total justice. It needs more words which I will link here once I write a deeper explanation.

Video: In line at the grocery store.

While in line at the grocery, I accidentally hit a woman in her rear-end with my grocery basket. She looked at me with a stupid look, and we had words. She said, “I thought people in New Orleans were supposed to be so nice.” Then, words got more heated between us.

I perpetrated a rear-end accident. Then

I want to mention that my family has four birthdays in December. We call them the December babies. Usually someone organizes a night in which we all meet to celebrate.

Now, back to my Indian name:

My Indian name is Sitting Wolf. I may have a tad bit of Indian blood in my roots, but I also have some French-Cajun ancestors who fought with Sitting Bull at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. As friends of Sitting Bull and the Sioux, they wore cuts from their Mardi Gras Indian costumes and blended in with the Native Indians. My Cajun ancestors were angry about how the Yankees had been carpetbagging in Louisiana after the Civil War. Similarly, the name Sitting Wolf was passed down to me likewise to what I explained in my article at DeleryGazette.com entitled King Farouk III.   https://delerygazette.org/2020/11/02/king-farouk-iii/

About my ascendency to the throne of the ancient King Farouk Dynasty which I explain in the article, I succeeded Fuad II who was the ninth mystical ruler of the ancient Muhammad Ali Dynasty, and I am in the lineage of the penultimate King of Mount Zion per the Caribbean Sea.

I say more about Sitting Bull.

Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill

George Armstrong Custer

This is a brief allusion to George Armstrong Custer and Custer’s Last Stand. I will add more information later on from my “Last Stand” study. Sitting Bull and Custer fought at the Battle of the Little BigHorn where Custer died on June 25, 1876.

Custer's Last Stand.

Sitting Bull poses below with Buffalo Bill, 1885

Buffalo Bill, known for his Wild West Show that featured Native American men and women, struck a partnership with Sitting Bull in 1885 when Sitting Bull performed on his show for several months. Sitting Bull in 1876 had lead his people against the U.S. government at the Battle of Little Bighorn (among other battles). The United States maintained its desire for revenge against Sitting Bull until it was successful in his death in 1890 two weeks before the Wounded Knee massacre of his tribe.

Sitting Bull and Wild Bill

After he left Bill’s show, the two remained friends that lasted until the end of their respective lives. Sitting Bull ended up going back to his tribe after the show in support of his tribe’s Ghost Dance movement which the United States looked upon as insubordination. The U.S. ended the tribe’s Ghost Dance ceremony with a massacre of the Indians.

‘Pretty Nose’ sits here for her portrait in 1879

A photographer captured this image of Pretty Nose at Fort Keogh, Montana, in 1879. She was a member of the Arapaho tribe and was a war chief who took part in the Battle of Little Bighorn. 

Pretty Nose

There are those who stated that she was a member of the Cheyenne tribe, but what she wore identified her as Arapaho, thanks to the black, red, and white cuffs adorning her. She lived well into old age, so much so that she was able to see her grandson, Mark Soldier Wolf, become an elder of the Arapaho tribe. 


Then, more about Custer!

Where was Custer's Last Stand?

The Battle of the Little Bighorn was fought along the ridges, steep bluffs, and ravines of the Little Bighorn River, in south-central Montana on June 25-26, 1876. The Native combatants were warriors of the Lakota Sioux, Northern Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes, battling men of the 7th Regiment of the US Cavalry, along with their Crow, and Arikara scouts.

Some girls survived the U.S. army massacres of that period.

What season are we in in Louisiana?

I wanted to say something about what season we are now in in Louisiana:
