This will be their landmark 242nd appearance as they travel across
the United States and Europe. The Crazy Horse family's oral history had
not been told outside the family for over a century because the
government had been hunting their family members since Crazy Horse was
assassinated in 1877. Now, over a century later, it is finally being
told by his family. Clown, a son to Edward Clown who was a nephew to
Crazy Horse and keeper of the sacred bundle and pipe, will represent his
family at the discussion.
Clown currently lives in Dupree, SD on the Cheyenne River
Reservation. Matson, a documentary film maker, currently resides in
Spearfish, SD. This is Matson's first book.
The event is free and everyone is invited.
