GRAVE DIGGING--WOUNDED KNEE CEMETERY
As we were arriving at the Wounded Knee Cemetery, these fellows were digging a grave. The man on the right remained unmoving for the entire time we were in the cemetery, which was probably about twenty minutes. I don't know if he was tired, grieving, bored or what. We asked permission to photograph. I wish I had done a better job of the whole thing, but felt a bit self-conscious and intrusive, so only took a couple of quick snaps.
What the gesticulation by the gent on the left was supposed to mean, I know not.
Great book for those who are interested: "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown. I highly recommend it.
