  • Beautiful. I grew up in South Dakota surrounded by reservations but never once did we go to see any ceremonial dances. I had never even been to Wounded Knee, although we lived very close to it. Finally asked my folks to go there when I was in H.S. but there was just a tiny sign and no further explanation. It wasn't until I taught Lore of the West years later that I knew the full story, although my grandma had photos of it. Amazing how we can overlook what is in our back yard.

    • If you ever get back that way, consider going to the Crazy Horse Memorial. I read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" many years ago and was shocked at what it recounted. Very sad part of our nation's history.
