HERSETH SANDLIN TO TAKE PART IN NATIVE AMERICAN DAY AT CRAZY HORSE MEMORIAL

 

October 11, 2010—This Monday, October 11, 2010. Representative Stephanie Herseth Sandlin will provide remarks during the Native American Day commemoration at the Crazy Horse Memorial. The event is the 21st observance of South Dakota’s Native Americans’ Day.

 

The following event is open to the press and public

Native American Day

October 11, 2010

10:00 – 11:00 AM (MST)

Crazy Horse Memorial

12151 Avenue of the Chiefs

Crazy Horse, SD

 

Weather permitting, there will be an 11 a.m. blast on the mountain carving. The program will feature the Crazy Horse Educator of the Year, Native American singers and dancers, and recognition of the “Year of Unity” effort in South Dakota.

The 1990 South Dakota Legislature established the holiday, now the oldest official observance of its kind in the country. State lawmakers, at the urging of several citizens, replaced Columbus Day for “the remembrance of the great Native American leaders who contributed so much to the history of our state.” Hands-on education activities for students will be offered throughout the day. As South Dakota’s lone representative, Herseth Sandlin represents nine sovereign Sioux tribes.
