Keeping Time
Monday, August 26, 2024
This week’s CAIRNS Etanhan Wotanin column is the eighth of our weekly “dispatches” relating to the 1874 reconnaissance expedition into the Black Hills. This week the expedition camped at a place called Young Men’s Butte during a full moon. One of the two stories about how the butte got its name involved Rain In The Face. The image above is a detail of a photograph of Rain In The Face, photographed by Orlando Goff at Fort Abraham Lincoln in 1874 while he was unjustly imprisoned there. The column, “Keeping Time,” can be read now by clicking here, or later this week in the Lakota Times newspaper.
