I was surprised that whereas the majority of our visiting bus party were very interested in all aspects the native culture and learning of its influence and contribution to the development of the USA - a number of our party were in fact quite openly hostile to this concept.

Our was a mixed party but the ones not happy with this concept were all American residents and aged 55+. Our guide was doing a very good job of informing us the details and history of this but these members of our party were making it quite clear that they would rather the true story of these events were not discussed at all.

Thankfully - a bloody great mountain carved in the image of Crazy Horse does make the non-discussing of these events rather difficult.
