The Lakota Indians called George Armstrong Custer “Son of the Morning Star.” A coincidence?

The most common name for the “Morning Star” is Venus. It is not a “star” by modern definition, but a bright, shiny object in the eastern sky. Many primitive peoples had myths about Venus, including the myth of the goddess Venus rising from the sea. The morning star rises in the east. Calling someone “the son of the morning star” is synoymous to calling him a son of the east- which Custer was.
