. . . We’re in the U.S., as the highway signs and bag of classic American candy [souvenirs collected by Welsh visitors] on the backseat confirm. But we are traveling in a parallel universe that feels no less foreign than the world I encountered while spending a college semester in Africa.

“At Pine Ridge Lakota Indian reservation, I sat bareback on an Appaloosa pony. As I basked in the sweet South Dakota sunshine, I thought I’d found heaven on earth . . . My guide was Serle Chapman, who with his encyclopedic knowledge tells the story from an Indian, rather than a white, perspective
. . . The magnificence of it all brought tears to my eyes.”

“People always ask me, ‘What was Crazy Horse like?’” says Serle Chapman, standing in two-foot-tall prairie grass dappled with wild sage and heather and backed by Bear Butte, the Plains Indians’ most sacred of places. A group of eight tourists from across the U.S., England and Australia listen, spellbound, despite the frigid October mist. “I tell them, ‘I think he was beautiful.’”
Perhaps not the word that most would use to describe this iconic Lakota leader. But then most have heard only of Crazy Horse the warrior – not Crazy Horse the romantic who willingly gave up his Shirt Wearer (war leader) status to ensure the protection and gentle treatment of the woman he loved.

. . . He takes up his drum one last time. The wind is whispering in the pines and beyond the dusky ranges, the sky is shot through with crimson. He starts to sing. Behind us, the road splits the reservation like an axe. The lights are flickering on in Rapid City, the neon signs advertising cars and computers, fast food and real estate. But in the Black Hills, the sacred heart of the Lakota Nation is still beating.
