Native American Day at Crazy Horse Sets Record
Ailirriaw IX,i, >mwi? ?,,rs,
Ihrci Most solute on the mountain itirr iiitf in honor of American hero?* inclinliii$
militant. /mtice, fire ami aiiihutance personnel
(Crazy Horse Mem.. SD)? A record crowd gathered at Crazy Horse Memorial.
in the Black Hills of S.D. for the 12th annual Native American Da>
ceremonies. October 8. 2001. The program at Crazy Horse was dedicated to
American heroes including military, police, fire and ambulance department
personnel.
"It was one of the most successful Native American Days ever at Crazy
Horse." said Crazy Horse CEO Mrs. Korczak (Ruth ) Ziolkowski. "It is wonderful
to see people of many races coming together to leam more about and
appreciate each others' history and culture. Reconciliation between races is as
important now as when Governor Mickelson first sought to establish Native
American Day in South Dakota twelve years ago."
The ceremonies included a first-ever event -- three simultaneous blasts on
the Crazy Horse mountain carving. The dramatic blasts honored the bravery
and commitment of rescue workers in New York and Washington follow ing
the September 11 terrorist attack. The tribute also acknowledged that the heroism
of those rescue workers is matched every day by people in similar jobs
across the country.
Tribal court judge B.J. Jones made it a point during his remarks to address
the hundreds of school children present for the Native American Day ceremony.
In addition to cultural understanding. Jones stressed the importance of
understanding other people's goals and priorities in life, a problem he said he
has often come across in his service as a tribal judge. Jones is Chief Judge of
the Sisseton-Wahpeton Tribal Court: Chief Justice of the Turtle Mountain
Tribal Court of Appeals: a Special Judge for the Standing Rock. Spirit Lake
and Fort Berthold Tribal Courts: Associate Justice of the Flandreau-Santee
Tribal Appeals court: and director of the Northern Plains Tribal Judicial Training
Institute at the University of N.D.
Nellie Two Bulls, an elder from Pine Ridge who has attended all of the
Native American Day ceremonies at Crazy Horse, sang an honor song. The
Nati\e American Veterans Group Post "I in Rapid City. S.D.. provided the
color guard. Representing both cultures, they presented three flags including
the American Flag and a ceremonial eagle feather staff.
Luke Yellow Robe, of the South Dakota Children's Home Society, noted
the South Dakota is the only state to celebrate Native American Day instead
of Columbus Day. He also explained the honor with which those who go to
war are held in Native American tradition.
During the ceremony. Dick Tobias welcomed the audience on behalf of the
Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation. Jim and Elaine Emery presented checks
on behalf of the foundation to the Pine Ridge Search and Rescue service and
to the SuAnne Big Crow Foundation.
Past Rapid City mayor Jim Shaw and Custer. S.D. coach and public school
principal Larry Luitjens also spoke. Sid Goss of the South Dakota School of
Mines was the master of ceremonies.
Following the formal program, attendees were treated to a free lunch of
buffalo stew provided by the South Dakota Department of Game Fish and
Parks. Children had the opportunity to do Native American crafts, create drawings
of what Native American Day means to them, and listen to Native American
storytellers. After lunch, the 21st Century Drum and Dancers group from
w olf Creek School performed on the veranda.
Crazy Horse Memorial is the world's largest sculpture located on US Highway
I6'385 just 17 miles from Mount Rushmore. It is a work in progress,
begun in 1948 by sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski at the request of Native Americans
and continued by his wife and family after his death in 1982.
The memorial includes the Native American Cultural Center, which was
dedicated at the 1996 Native American Day Celebration, the sculptor's studio.
the Indian Museum of North American, as well as a 40.000 square foot
Orientation Center opened in May of2000.
urazy Horse Scholarships
Providing $55,000
(Crazy Horse Mem.. SD) -- The
Crazy Horse Memorial Native American
scholarship Program is providing
about S55.000 in grants during the
2001-2002 academic year.
The program this year topped a cumulative
total of S350.000 founded
during the last 23 years.
Well over 1.000' Native American
student have benefited from the Crazy Horse
Scholarships which are earmarked
for students ffom the nine
South Dakota reservations who
choose to attend the participating
South Dakota institutions . A large
percentage of the recipients are nontraditional
students such as adults who
have returned to school. Many of them
are the heads of single-parent families.
Selection committees at the participating
colleges, universities, technical
institutes, nursing and other
schools pick the scholarship recipients.
The Memorial does not handle
any grant applications and plays no
role in the scholarship selection process.
Sculptor and Mrs. Korczak
Ziolkowski launched the scholarship
program in 1978 with a single $250
grant. At that time. Korczak called the
program "a small, good faith gesture
toward the long-range educational
goals of Crazy Horse Memorial." A
significant portion of the Memorial's
annua) scholarship funding today
comes ffom contributions designated
for scholarships. In addition to the
well-established and growing Indian
Museum of North America, the
Memorial's formal educational goals
include the planned University and
Medical Training Center for the North
American Indian.
Elaine Emery ofCuster, S.D., is the
volunteer coordinator of the scholarship
program that, in recent years, has
expanded to help support a variety of
sports and other special activities of
Native American Students at the secondary
school level.
The Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation
this year created a SI.000 annual
scholarship in memory of Willis
"Bill" Brown, former publisher of the
Rapid City Journal from 1964-1968.
Brown was a longtime friend of
Korczak Ziolkowski. serving as presifoundation
for over 20 years. When
Brown stepped down as foundation
president in 1989 he was named president
emeritus for life.
"His dedication, constructive advice.
and loyal friendship throughout
the years- the decades- meant so
much to Crazy Horse as well as to
Korczak and to me." said Crazy Horse
CEO Ruth Ziolkowski. "He had the
vision to believe in Crazy Horse when
so many didn't."
The Bill Brown Scholarship will be
for Native American students in the
University of South Dakota Department
of Contemporary Media and
Journalism.
Notable recent scholarship gifts to
the Crazy Horse Memorial foundation
include $2,000 from the Indian Motorcycle
company, presented by the
company's new CEO Frank
O'Connell and by Branscombe Rich
mond, star of the TV series "Renegade."
During the presentation ceremony,
company officials "passed the
hat" and members of the audience
gave an additional SI,000.
The recent Blasters Seminar at
Craiy Horse also netted over 56,000
for the Paul Muehl Scholarship fund
of the International Society of Explosives
Engineers (1SEE). The seminar,
dedicated to the safe, productive, and
positive use of explosive technology,
was attended by 29 blasters and seven
instructors from around the country.
and svas sponsored bv the ISEE.
