The tule reed boat, or tule boat, is a traditional watercraft made from tule reeds, a tall grass commonly found in wetland areas. This type of boat is an integral part of the culture and lifestyle of many indigenous peoples in North America, including the Ohlone, Miwok, Maidu, and Paiute.
Tule reeds, also known as bulrushes, are a type of perennial grass that grows densely in wetland regions. Chosen for its flexibility and excellent water resistance, tule reeds are the primary material used to make boats and various other handicrafts by indigenous peoples.
The process of making a tule reed boat typically begins with harvesting tule reeds from wetland areas. After harvesting, the tule reeds are sun-dried to remove moisture and increase their elasticity. Then, the reeds are cut into sections and tightly twisted together to form the framework of the boat. Some versions of the boat may be created by pressing, bending, or tying tule reeds together to achieve the desired boat shape.
Tule reed boats are often used for purposes such as transportation on water, fishing, and cargo transportation. They are particularly used in hunting activities and communication between indigenous tribes along rivers and lakes.
In addition to being a means of transportation, tule reed boats also hold significant cultural value. They play an important role in traditional ceremonies, community events, and cultural activities of indigenous peoples. Furthermore, the process of making tule reed boats serves as a way to transmit and preserve traditional knowledge and skills for future generations.

CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL, SOUTH DAKATA - One of the largest sculpture projects in the world
The Crazy Horse Memorial is a massive mountain carving located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, USA. It depicts Crazy Horse, a legendary Oglala Lakota warrior, riding a horse and pointing into the distance. The memorial honors Crazy Horse's legacy and serves as a symbol of Native American pride, culture, and resilience.
Work on the Crazy Horse Memorial began in 1948 under the direction of sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski and continues to this day. It is one of the largest ongoing sculptural projects in the world. The memorial is intended to be much more than just a carving; it also includes a cultural and educational center, museum, and Native American university.
The Crazy Horse Memorial stands as a tribute to the spirit and endurance of Native American peoples and their contributions to American history and culture. It is a significant tourist attraction and a symbol of hope and inspiration for Indigenous communities across the country.
