NEW!
Crazy Horse Exhibit
"I thought of things that had happened the last
days, seasons and summers. I began to see that all
things were strung together like beads of a necklace,
one after another, from this day back and this day
forward they went on forever, the hunt, the warpath, the
teaching by Hump and my father and the wounding of
Conquering Bear.
I thought of other beads:
The songs of my mother as we laughed together when I was
a child, the songs I sang to Little Mouse as I brushed
away the mosquitoes and gnats from her face as she lay
in her cradleboard. And how I told her stories
until she fell to sleep. I saw the face of Little
Mouse as she is now, with her long eyelashes flickering
up and down over her smiling, bright black eyes.
It was as if I had returned to mother earth from another
world as she wanted to hold me to her bosom and whisper
in my ear."
