tone was rooted from the subject about Mount Rushmore and The Crazy Horse memorial. Each of these statues are widely know across the United States but not for the right reasons. Downes makes it seem as if the location of the memorial has a factor in why each are so universally known and talked about. The Crazy Horse memorial is placed in a prime location, right near indian land. Every Indian had a different opinion on whether this memorial was a good thing
their lives or people that made the world better by changing history. There is the large monument in South Dakota Peak of Crazy Horse and it is close to Mount Rushmore in Rapid city that represents powerful people for two different cultures. There was a holocaust museum made in the National Park Mall that was for the remembrance for those who died in the holocaust. The Lincoln memorial was made to represent something more than President Lincoln to remember how he changed history for the better. Memorializing
country and expanding into new territories can be a touchy subject for many. However, this is a part of the United State’s history that cannot be rewritten. Debates can go on about what was wrong and right, yet in the Black Hills, the carvings of Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore can be found. Including Downes, there is skepticism on the Mount Rushmore monument. Downes shares, “It was bad enough that white men drove the Sioux from hills they still hold sacred; did they have to carve faces all over them
didn't know where to push the button and we miss out, Brad emailed us another photo. About 10 or so seats were empty as some were going to Rapid City so we could spread out a little bit. Not far out of Keystone I noticed we had driven past Crazy Horse Memorial and quickly told Allyson to look out the window behind her, it was only last glimpse but still very special. To make the time pass a little quicker
remarkable occurrences in history, people, or concepts; and when it is time to construct a monument, many aspects of the established memorial need to be planned. Factors a group or agency should consider when memorializing an event or person and in creating a monument is the location, which should be in the area that was most significant to the person or event. When memorials are placed in an inappropriate spot, the message is skewed, and there seems to be of little relevance if the monument is not where
Last summer Lily and her family took a trip to Wyoming and South Dakota. They went to Yellowstone, Devils Tower, Black Hills and Mt. Rushmore. At the end of the school year Lily’s parents told all the kids that they will be going to South Dakota in a big RV in July. It was a couple months away, but they were excited. A month later they found the RV they wanted. “ Why don’t we go to Yellowstone to.” said Lily’s Dad. There plan was to leave got a week and be able to see everything they wanted
Crazy Horse The European settlement of North America met its fiercest opponent, the Lakota also known as the Western Sioux, who inhabited most of the Great Plains. The Oglala tribe, a branch of the Sioux nation were key in the resistance against the white man. At the heart of their resistance stood crazy horse, a warrior that had no equal. Crazy Horse fought for the traditions of his people, until those same people wearied of war and in some cases, turned against him. Chief Crazy Horse led an
Red Cloud and Crazy Horse were determined their warriors to crush the white settlers to returning their land and departing forever. Using an ancient tactic of warfare, the Sioux waited until troops thought the fighting had halted. Setting up decoys and the strategy plans, Red Cloud was ready to see the white man’s blood fall on the plains. When US Calvary men began to advance outside their fort range in search of a plea or peace treaty. Red Cloud gave the order for Crazy Horse to commence a raid
through the reservations. In Saga of the Sioux, there are major conflicts, themes, and is in third person point of view. In the nonfiction novel Saga of the Sioux, there are two major conflicts. They are Man vs. Nature and Man vs. Society. “Crazy Horse and the others managed to keep just out of range as the Bluecoats entered the Peno Creek Valley. The soldiers shouted with satisfaction” is a good example of how the Native Americans were nonstop being hunted by the soldiers, as well as being pushed
In The Journey of Crazy Horse, written by Joseph Marshall III, power plays a significant role in determining the fates of both the Lakota Indians and the white men.
