Discussion of book lead by Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center Director Sarah Polak, Graves Lecture Series, Chadron State College

March 29 - 31
Mari Sandoz Heritage Society Annual Conference at Chadron State College. The 2007 Theme is Crazy Horse. For more information please contact 308-432-6401 or visit www.marisandoz.org.

The Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center is transforming Bill and Jan Moeller's book Crazy Horse: A Photographic Biography into a traveling exhibition. The Moellers write in their book, Crazy Horse: A Photographic Biography, of the need they felt to "see" the landscape that they were reading about in Mari Sandoz's Crazy Horse: Strange Man of the Oglalas. They began a journey to photograph the lands where he lived, hunted, and fought. By visually exploring the locations Crazy Horse lived and traveled, the viewer will be able to form a portrait of the Crazy Horse as he related to his environment. The exhibition will debut at the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center. In April the exhibition will close at the Center and will be available to travel around the state of Nebraska during 2007. The exhibition will be available to libraries and museums in the State of Nebraska at no cost through the Mari Sandoz High Plains Heritage Center.
