We saw Rushmore, and Crazy Horse.. We were more interested in the Crazy Horse monument,then that of Rushmore. We went to the Wounded Knee Museum in Wall; And while at the Wounded Knee Museum,tears came to our eyes. It had such an impact on us both;because of this we didn't go to the actual site. This was just one act against them; the government has been playing with thier lives for over 100 years. And they take a coward(G.A. Custer)and make him a General.

I had a lot of the same thoughts as you did. There is now a wounded knee museum in the town of wall on the interstate (ie wall drug). I would highly recommend going there first and planning to spend a few hgours there because there is a lot to see and read; and then going to the actual site on the rez. It really struck me how many of the individual graves there are kids under 2yo. http://www.woundedkneemuseum.org/index.htm Hey,

I think if we get others to join the "bring them home" movement it may just work! Candy, As Meadow would say, “Your my new BFF”!

I'm jealous, not of everything but of most. I've always had a tug at my heart strings as far as the plight of the Indians in their getting a raw deal. I always wanted to travel to the reservation I conribute financially to just to see if it's making any difference. I will try to find the "Bury My Heart...." book that Candy suggested. Should be a good if not disturbing read. I'm so enjoying your fascinating trip and am awaiting your next chapter... Just had a chance to review your adventures.

History certainly does repeat itself many many times. Have you ever read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee"? If not try to get a copy or a download. How accurate it is will we ever know? But it certainly opened my eyes, made me hot, cold, nauseated and depressed. Just the ticket for light summer reading but should be mandatory in every high school, and that's my opinion. Your trip is fantastic, if you are missing anything I haven't heard of it. However I agree with Layla, it's time you admitted you're just kidding and are turning around for home.
