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.

Somebody told me today don’t put it back because you can’t go backwards and I’m not going backwards. I am moving forward. Today is a new beginning.

"We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living.
With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say.
White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I’ll stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying, but I won’t interrupt you.
When you finish speaking, I’ll make up my mind about what you said, but I will not tell you I don’t agree unless it is important. Otherwise, I’ll just keep quiet and I’ll go away. You have told me all I need to know. There is no more to be said. But this is not enough for the majority of white people.
People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.
There are many voices besides ours. Many voices…”

The founding father of this great show needs your help. Farmer Jacob has helped so many- now he could use your help, if you can.



Grateful and Blessed !
Those are the words we are trying to stay positive and focused on.
For anyone that doesn’t know, we lost our home and everything in it to a wildfire on Friday. We are very much in shock still and reeling with everything that will come next.
We are overwhelmed and humbled by the outpouring of support and offers of help we have been extended. We are truly BLESSED and thank you all from the bottom of our hearts ❤️
While I know we will need help - at this point we just don’t know what we will need or when we will need it!
I have been asked what, specifically, we need and while there are a few things now, we know there will be more as time goes on….to try and be better at asking for and allowing people to help, we have created a wish list on Amazon to replace some things as we remember them. We share it below for anyone that wants to help but doesn’t know how. We will update this list as we come up with things. There is also a Go Fund Me set up. If that is your preference, you can find it on either of our pages.

We genuinely thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! We are grateful and blessed ❤️

Time to stand up Minnesota

A number of bills proposed by Minnesota lawmakers either focus on or have a section prohibiting the use of American Indian mascots in public schools.
