I have posted two videos of Crazy Horse whom I have researched. He was know to the white men as a savage but in reality he was only trying to save his people's land and their traditions. He, like many other was forced onto a reservation. When his wife became sick, he left the reservation without permission to take her to her family. He was taken into custody because they feared he was planning an attack. While in custody he was cut with a bayonet and died from the wounds. The videos show the great respect that his people had for him and it is also a good video of the burial ritual. Crazy Horse was buried where only the family know the location in honor of him. The rock carving is a beautiful monument to thus man that so greatly wanted to preserve the ways of his people.
