The Project

The Ghost Dance Memorial Pavilion is a project to commemorate the people of the Great Plains. It traces the remaining spirit and memory of the Sioux First Nation, their tribal ghost dance, and the events of the wounded knee Massacre of 1890. The pavilion dances in the wind and plays in the sunlight. It is the Sioux dancing with the prairie, brought to life again by wind and movement.
