You can so feel how the Indians must have loved this land. It's like you can feel them here. As fate would have it, the Wounded Knee Massacre I was mentioning earlier today did in fact take place about 90 miles from where we are. Although we can't get there on this whirlwind, we were able to stop at the Wounded Knee Museum and buy some gifts made on different local reservations. We got this really cool prayer fan and a couple dreamcatchers, all overwhelmingly beautiful. So, we push on to Mt. Rushmore with a prayer in our hearts for all the souls who perished as the United States was transformed by our way of life. Interestingly, because of the history of the region, we understand there is a new monument being created near Mt. Rushmore. This one of Crazy Horse, built by request of Lakota Chiefs and representing North American Indians of all tribes, will be the largest statue in the world upon its completion. I feel really good about that.
