The Mystery Of Crazy Horse’s Final Resting Place — And The Search For The Lost Burial Site

The Memory Of The Dead In Lakota Thought
The relationship between the living and the dead in Lakota thought is not identical to the Euro-American Christian framework, and understanding it provides context for understanding the burial practices and the protective secrecy.
The concept of the nagi — the spirit or soul of a person — is central to Lakota understanding of death.
After death, the nagi is understood to have a continued existence and continued relationships with the living.
