Story Leads - Native American
Today more than 62,000 Native Americans live in South Dakota and the rich Dakota, Lakota and Nakota culture is prominent. Visitors can experience this vibrant culture through a visit to a Native American community, paintings, artifacts, music, fashion, jewelry, architecture, beadwork, pottery and more. Perhaps the most adventurous opportunities lie in experiencing a powwow, or "wacipi", held by almost every Native American community during the summer months.
