CRAZY HORSE SPEAKS.

[Dirtrider]

I was hostile to the white man...We preferred hunting to a life of idleness on our reservations. At times we did not get enough to eat and we were not allowed to hunt. All we wanted was peace and to be let alone. Soldiers came...in the winter...and destroyed our villages. Then Long Hair (Custer) came...They said we massacred him, but he would have done the same to us. Our first impulse was to escape...but we were so hemmed in we had to fight. After that I lived in peace, but the government would not let me alone. I was not allowed to remain quiet. I was tired of fighting...They tried to confine me... and a soldier ran his bayonet into me. I have spoken.

Crazy Horse - Sioux

We went, again last summer, to Fort Robinson, Nebraska, to look at the place where
Crazy Horse was killed, always an emotional time. We also spent some time
looking at Korczak Ziolkowski's gigantic Crazy Horse sculpture in
the Black Hills, a fitting memorial, even if there are no photos it seems to be
a great representation of the great Sioux leader.

Just an FYI; Korczak Ziolkowski's gigantic Crazy Horse sculpture will not be completed in the near future. There is no one alive today that will see the completion.

 

We set up and sell our crafts there during the summer,,, and it is great to see the evening blast when they set off an explosion.
