The Children Who Grew Up In The Mystery

One dimension of the burial mystery that is easy to overlook is what it has meant for the generations of Lakota children who have grown up at Pine Ridge knowing that they lived in the landscape where Crazy Horse was buried — without knowing exactly where.

For these children — now adults, some now elders — the mystery has been part of the texture of growing up in a community whose history includes him.

The specific knowledge of the burial location may or may not have been available to specific families.
