Also, Jim Shaw of Rapid City will emcee the 10 a.m. program that will feature the Crazy Horse Educator of the Year, American Indian singers and dancers and recognition of the "Year of Unity" effort in South Dakota.
Native Americans' Day is special at the nonprofit Crazy Horse Memorial that honors North America's Indian people.
The 1990 South Dakota Legislature established the holiday, now the oldest official observance of its kind in the country. State lawmakers, at the urging of several citizens, replaced Columbus Day for "the remembrance of the great Native American leaders who contributed so much to the history of our state."
