RAPID CITY, S.D. - Many people today claim to have some blood tie to Crazy Horse, the revered warrior of the Lakota. People are proud to be connected with the name Crazy Horse, even though there is an ongoing battle over who has control over his intellectual property rights.
Those claiming descent are at odds with each other's version of the story. One side of the family, headed by Floyd Clown, a Minneconjou from the Cheyenne River Reservation who claims to be Crazy Horse's great-grandson, asserts that a DVD series his family put together tells the true story of Crazy Horse. A second family group has debunked the DVD as ''lies.''
''The Authorized Biography of Crazy Horse and His Family,'' part one of a four-part series, consists of three men telling the story of the Lakota and of the Crazy Horse family tree. The 99-minute film continually stresses that the reason for its existence is to tell the truth about the Crazy Horse family.
Anyone who has some knowledge of the Lakota will not acquire any additional historical information by viewing the film and may find some discrepancies.
