The Mystery Of Crazy Horse’s Final Resting Place — And The Search For The Lost Burial Site
Whether that protection is best served by disclosure or by continued secrecy is a question the community must answer.
The dignity of Crazy Horse and the decision his family made in 1877 deserve respect.
That respect means not treating the burial as a treasure hunt, not approaching the mystery with the assumption that the public’s right to know supersedes the community’s right to protect.
The cultural and spiritual significance of the burial site is not reducible to its historical interest.
The place where Crazy Horse rests, wherever it is, is not merely a historical site — it is a place that carries spiritual significance within the Lakota framework.
