LAKOTA THOUGHTS

THE LAKOTA BELIEVE THAT MT. RUSHMORE IS THERE SACRED MOUNTAIN.  IT OVERLOOKS THE TREATY THAT U.S. BROKE REGARDING THEIR OWNERSHIP.  IN 1929 THE LATER CREATED ANOTHER SACRED MONUMENT IN THE VICINITY CALLED CRAZY HORSE.  IT IS IN CUSTER COUNTY AND WAS COMMISSIONED BY A ELDER.  IT IS A PRIVATE NON PROFIT MEMORIAL.  IT IS ON THE OGLALA CONSIDER SACRED.  THIS CARVING IS STILL IN PROGRESS BY ANGLO SCULPTORS.  HE DIED AT 82 BUT 7 OF HIS CHILDREN HELP WITH THE PROJECT.  MY FAMILY HAS VISITED THIS UNIQUE MONUMENT.  THEY HAVE MANY SCULPTURES OF HEADS AND MUCH ARTWORK HERE.  THE MONUMENT IS OF CRAZY HORSE, A WARRIOR, RIDING ON A HORSE AND LOOKING FAIRLY SERIOUS. NOW THEY HAVE A MUSEUM HERE,
