The final session of the 2013-14 Conversations at BSC series takes place Sunday, May 4, with discussion of "The Life and Death of Crazy Horse."
Former BSC President Larry Skogen and humanities scholar Clay Jenkinson anchor the discussion, which begins at 3 p.m. in the National Energy Center of Excellence Bavendick Stateroom on the Bismarck State College campus. Comments and questions from the audience complete the conversation.
Many people regard Crazy Horse as the greatest Lakota opponent in the white conquest of America. Starting with the groundbreaking biography by Mari Sandoz, studies have proliferated about his life, visions, strangeness, death and burial. The most recent look comes from Thomas Powers in the "The Killing of Crazy Horse," published in 2010.
This conversation will outline Crazy Horse's life and achievement but particularly his enduring place in hearts of whites and Native Americans alike.
Audience members are encouraged to read Powers' book and/or "The Death of Crazy Horse: A Tragic Episode in Lakota History" by Richard G. Hardorff.
The series presentations are unrehearsed and emphasize the 360-degree perspective of the humanities lens. Live video/audio streaming is available at bsctalk.com, and audio only on The Myx at bscmyx.com. Funding is provided by Bismarck State College and the BSC Foundation.
