Crazy Horse: Little Bighorn to Fort Robinson

Crazy Horse's story runs through six places: Fort Phil Kearny in Wyoming, the Rosebud and Little Bighorn battlefields in Montana, Fort Robinson in Nebraska, and the Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota. The Oglala Lakota war leader helped defeat the army from 1866 to 1876, then surrendered and was killed at Fort Robinson in 1877. The route follows his campaigns in order, then turns to what remains: the burial legend near Wounded Knee Creek and the unfinished mountain carving that many Lakota oppose.

Dances with Wolves: The South Dakota Frontier

The 1990 Western is set on the 1863 frontier and was filmed mostly in South Dakota: a Fort Hays set near Rapid City, the Badlands, the Triple U Buffalo Ranch and Spearfish Canyon. John Dunbar's journey from a frontier fort to a Sioux winter camp is rebuilt from real prairie and canyon. The route follows the story's order and ends at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, named in the film's epilogue text. Several stops are film sets or private land, so pins mark the nearest real place.
