Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, located in the heart of what was formerly called Indian Territory, is a land of rolling hills, sculpted riverbeds, wind-swept clouds and peace-loving people. It is also the site of some of the bloodiest events in the 19th-century war between the Native people and U.S. government.
Today, the Reservation suffers from crippling poverty, yet its Oglala Lakota residents retain a spirit of hope, generosity, love and community that has been passed down for generations. Learn more about Pine Ridge's tumultuous past and the present conditions that contribute to its status as the poorest region in in South Dakota, and the United States.
