From the Archives: An archival oral history collection created to support sacred site litigation in Fools Crow v. Gullet

The Oglala Lakota College has assembled an archive of oral history recordings called “A Song From Sacred Mountain Collection.” This is an excellent resource that includes digitized interviews with Cheyenne and Lakota leaders from the 1980s that were collected by the Oglala Lakota Legal Rights Fund in connection with sacred site litigation related to Bear Butte in Crow v. Gullet, 706 F.2d 856 (8th Cir. 1983). The collection provides a rare body of extensive online recorded interviews that relate to the intersection of land, sacred sites, history, and litigation.
