i would not recomend looking for the place i mentioned
it is a sacred lakota place
and i was only there by special invitation
i have most always found the lakota to be friendly and helpful
some are not and the bitterness is evident.
and i would say understandable.

Finding things on your own when you're not Lakota could be
problematic....we bought some stuff at the store there (and took a
picture of a cow standing on top of a 12 ft pile of rubble). Very
friendly to me in that store, but not to Mr Sails....

been thru the badlands several times
once while traveling across the country for 2 years in the mid 1980's
i also have some startling photos of the badlands

after that: several times work related and with students
no, i never made it to chief crazy horse or mt. rushmore for that
matter.
crow dogs paradise is a special unknown place on the lakota res.
but you'll have to find it on your own!
amazing...........have not thought about this for some time.

I took some cool pictures when we were in the Badlands....it was a day
when the sunlight was really filtered so the effect on the mud strata
interesting to shoot....
Did you go to the museum at Chief Crazy Horse Mountain? Wish they
would get that doen so we could go see it finished.

It was a book written in tandem about the Lakota...the author wrote the
basic story, then went to the Lakota and had it translated into their
language and then went back and translated that into English so that it
would be truly representative of their history. It is a great book. If you
are interested in the history of the Sioux nation, it is probably one of the
best.

Yes, that is really a great book. I read it as a teenager and was bowled
over...

They've got it... although fewer (12) than I would have thought. I may
pick up a copy myself.

One of the changes in the U.S. that I like the least is the fading of
pioneer spirit & values... after 3 generations raised by TV and having
consumer culture rammed down our throats... for that matter who even
reads books any more?

Many people reread still.....every trip I make to Barnes * Noble sees the
store packed...most of the people I know read...
