Road to Medicine Creek
29 Ekim 2022, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C
Had the day enroute to Medicine Creek.

Decided to visit the Aktá Lakota Museum & Cultural Center in the town of Chamberlain.

"The center opened in 1991 on St. Joseph’s Indian School campus. The name of our Native American museum reflects what we do: honor and preserve the rich culture of the Lakota people, the students at St. Joseph’s Indian School "

The visit prompted my Life 2.0 post.

Live 2.0 : “The meaning of life is that it ends.”

The US Traverse is now in full swing and the two males in the pack are making their way across the prairies towards Black Hills and the epicenter of the Sioux nation.

This is where US history was written in blood with immortal leaders like Crazy Horse, Sitting bull, and where Custer had his last stand.

I had to make a detour to The Akta Lakota Museum at St. Joseph's Indian School. It was fascinating to walk through the history and try to see it from the perspective of the Sioux people. Red Cloud, a Lakota Chief voiced the frustrations:

''They made many promises to us, but they only kept one. They promised to take our land, and they took it.'

But it was Spotted Tail’s speech, delivered at the great council on the Powder River, just before the attack on Fort Phil Kearny that had me thinking.

“There is a time appointed to all things. Think for a moment how many multitudes of the animal tribes we ourselves have destroyed! Look upon the snow that appears to-day -- to-morrow it is water! Listen to the dirge of the dry leaves, that were green and vigorous but a few moons before! We are a part of this life and it seems that our time has come.”

Sounds very negative, but is it?

Franz Kafka’s quote “The meaning of life is that it ends” does have an interesting twist. Kafka did not believe in the afterlife. His philosophy was that only when we understand and accept that when we die, there is no heaven or hell, that we just die, that is the moment when we begin to truly live.

That holds true for a person or a tribe.

Dignity of Earth and Sky
17 Mayıs, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
So I was standing by my phone and I said South Dakota. A post on Facebook came up with a picture of this statue. I looked up the location and found that it is located at a rest stop on the I-90. Since that is the highway between Sioux Falls it became a must see. We stopped to see the 50 foot statue and it was spectacular.

Here is some info from the Travel South Dakota website.

She wears a garment patterned after a traditional two-hide dress of the 1850s. One of the statue’s most striking features is her outstretched star quilt — a symbol of respect, honor and admiration in Native American culture. The quilt’s 128 stainless steel diamonds feature color-changing pieces that glitter in the sun and move with the wind, creating a rippling effect. At night, LED lights cause the diamonds to illuminate the dark sky, casting a peaceful glow that’s easily visible from the interstate.

She casts a peaceful gaze across the waters of the Missouri River. During the day, the South Dakota wind brushes the diamonds in her star quilt, causing blue shades to twinkle in the sunlight. At night, she stands illuminated and strong. She is Dignity.Okumaya devam et

Chamberlain, South Dakota
15 Eylül 2014, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Il est de plus en plus difficile de trouver du réseau dans ces petits villages. Actuellement, en direct du Mcdo du coin !
Nous ne sommes qu'à quelques heures du Mount Rushmore (4h), nous y arriverons sûrement demain dans l'après-midi. Pour le moment, il est temps de laver Monsieur MegaFord tueur d'insectes et de trouver un Walmart pour la nuit.

It's starting to be more and more difficult to find good Internet connection in these small towns.
We are now live from the Mcdonald of the village.
We are only 4 hours away from Mount Rushmore, we will probably be there tomorrow afternoon.
For now, let's wash Mister MegaFord insects killer and find a Walmart for the night.Okumaya devam et

c'est vrai que l'on prend vite les mauvaises habitudes d'avoir tes chouettes résumés des journées et les photos ! hi hi. Pour la lessive, essayez de mettre les habits directement sur Monsieur MegaFord quand vous le lavez, ça doit être pas mal non plus. Bonne suite de trajet les Loulous et gros bisous.

Travel and Akta Lakota Museum
21 Mayıs 2019, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ⋅ 🌧 8 °C
Today, we left Milwaukee bright and early. We got to see a beautiful sunrise as we headed west out of town. We traveled most of the day before stopping at the Akta Lakota Museum & Cultural Center in Chamberlain, South Dakota. The museum is housed at St. Joseph's Indian School, which is run by the Priests of the Sacred Heart. Here, we toured an exhibit detailing the history, culture and traditions of the Lakota people. It was a fascinating learning experience. On a side note, we learned the meaning for the word "Kinnikinnic". According to a display in the museum, tobacco would be "mixed with sumac leaves and the dried inner bark of red alder, dogwood, or red willow." Living in Milwaukee, I've always wondered what this term means. Now, I know. We spent a couple hours at the museum before heading to Pierre to spend the night.Okumaya devam et

We're staying this night right next to the Missouri River in Chamberlain. Rented a decent Cabin for the night, doing laundry and having an awesome meal. Love the fried pickels.
