What cannot be said with confidence:
Where specifically he was buried.

Whether the knowledge of the location survives in complete form within the community.

One Final Accounting

The mystery of Crazy Horse’s final resting place is, at its core, the story of a family’s love and a community’s determination to protect one of their own from the power that had killed him.

It is also the story of how that protection has endured across nearly 150 years of enormous change: the reservation era, the allotment era, the boarding school era, the termination era, and the ongoing contemporary period in which Indigenous communities are asserting their sovereignty and cultural authority in new ways.
