Last Great Gathering of the Sioux Nation (excerpt, 1934)

Titled "The Last Great Gathering of the Sioux Nation," these scenes were shot on 8mm film in Crawford, Nebraska by Arthur P. Howe. Howe was a pharmacist and civic leader in Crawford, a small town in Nebraska's northwestern Pine Ridge area and the closest civilian settlement to the U.S. Army's long-time frontier outpost, Fort Robinson. The Gathering, which attracted some 1000 Native Americans from nearby reservations, was held in conjunction with the dedication of twin monuments at Fort Robinson to the memories of Lt. Levi Robinson and Oglala Chief Crazy Horse.
