This week’s CAIRNS Etanhan Wotanin column is the seventh of our weekly “dispatches” relating to the 1874 reconnaissance expedition into the Black Hills. This week the expedition emerged from the Black Hills, stepped onto the red racetrack where an epic competition between all the animals was run long ago before buffaloes were on the world. The image above is a detail of a painting, “Wakipa” by Keith BraveHeart, 2016. The column, “The Race Track,” can be read now by clicking here, or later this week in the Lakota Times newspaper.
