We took a bus down to the base of Crazy Horse Mountain and the driver took this picture.
Here's a bike for Paul Faias. This special edition bike built for Crazy Horse was donated for a fund raiser. After going to Disney Hospitality Training the Chamber of Commerce invited us to attend their season grand openning. This was the first night of lasers and was closed to the public. Good food for all.
After the speeches Native Americans danced. We all danced together with them. Coral was in heaven.
Off to Kevin Cosner's Tatanka. After making Dances with Wolves Kevin commissioned a local artest to make brass sculptures of a buffalo hunt. It took seven years to complete. Kevin built a interperative center near Deadwood, South Dakota to display these sculptures and teach everyone the real Lakota ways.
Coral with a Lakota Indian that put on a demonstration. He sang and played the flute. Of coarse Coral loved this.
The sculpture depicts the Lakota casing the Bison over a cliff. This was a common method used as the buffalo can weigh over a ton and are difficult to kill with a bow and arrow.
A Lakota woman gave us a tour of the grounds and answered our questions.
Off to downtown Deadwood. Sorry but I was too busy gambling to take pictures. We enjoyed the gunfights the occurred on the hour. Each fight was a reenactment of an actual fight that happened here. This is where Doc Holiday, Calamidy Jane, and the likes hung out in the old west.
