Over World's Longest Continuous Dinosaur
Tracks In Spectacular New Drone Footage
Article by Holly Large, IFLScience
Supercool drone footage is in this
article, click on it to see the Youtube
video (1:24) with closeups of the
huge footprints that a big sauropod
laid down in the late Jurassic
era,
150 million years ago. Big, deep
footprints made in mud, and they
look fresh! This is a reminder that
Earth is very old and things change,
and dinosaurs were real.

The government took our children
– to force them to forget who they were
This memorial is for them – so they know we never forgot
who they are
This memorial is for us – so we never forget what they
did
This land with the unmarked graves was placed into the trust of the Oglala, Cheyenne River, and Rosebud Sioux Tribes to protect the graves of these children in perpetuity, and these tribes have approved this beautiful memorial to honor all our children.
Input was gathered for many years for the memorial – from the families of the deceased, descendants of the survivors, THPOs, community members, tribal leaders, elders, and spiritual advisers for this simple and beautiful design.
The memorial is intended to be a place of prayer, gathering, and remembrance. The primary design elements include a memorial walking path with history boards along the route, individual boulders with the names of each of the children who passed, and four sculptures of traditional burial scaffolds for children.
"So young, they took our babies away from us."
