Dakota Life: Greetings from Eagle Butte

SDPB visits the local radio station KIPI, one of the first tribal-owned radio stations, the Wolves Den, a local boxing gym now in its 20th year of operation, the Ohitika Archery Program for area youth, and we look at a local business that is part of the Four Bands business incubator program.

i had a gig in eagle butte around mid-2015 and got my camera stolen. it was then found by a journalist who found it on the side of the road, found my name in the camera’s metadata, found me on twitter-made a twitter, and messaged me saying he found my camera. i then got it back mid-2015.
✊ 7/10 would go back

i was an exchange student from tel-aviv there, that town is one place you do not want to be, those "tribal police" are corrupt, the place lives on who you know, and this video failed to show the nasty delapadated tribal housing all over that place. the school system ( thank god i was only there for 6 months) is riddled with " i want to be a gangsta and wear baggy saggers", omgthis is a town in the middle of nowwhere. if your not related to anyone who is native, your on your own. the only people who treated me well were the non natives (whites). the way they treat cats and dogs is beyond belief, and they think it is normal. alcoholism, and drug use it all over. you can drive thru that town and see homeless drunks all over the place just standing there asking for a hand out.
