Crazy Horse family elders Floyd Clown, Sr., and his brother Doug War Eagle will join author William Matson to discuss and sign their book “Crazy Horse: The Lakota Warrior’s Life and Legacy” based on the family’s oral history. They will appear 1-3:30 p.m., Dec. 8 at the Schweitzer Brentwood Branch Library.
This will be their 188th appearance as they travel across the United States and Europe. The Crazy Horse family’s oral history had not been told outside the family for over a century. Now, over a century later, it is finally being told by his family. Clown, a son to Edward Clown who was a nephew to Crazy Horse and keeper of the sacred bundle and pipe, will represent his family at the discussion.
Clown currently lives in Dupree, South Dakota on the Cheyenne River Reservation. Matson, a documentary film maker, currently resides in Spearfish, South Dakota. This is Matson’s first book.
The event is free and open to the public.
