Eagle Butte - Indigenous peoples (1)

Day One:
After staying the night in St. Mary's of Bellevue Nebraska, we headed out for Eagle Butte. Along the way, we visited the one and only Corn Palace in Mitchell, South Dakota! The Corn Palace is made entirely of corn! During our visit, we saw a great performance by the TestosterTones, a high school show choir from Totitno-Grace ​High School from Fridley, MN. We were a little cornfused about the entire event and some people couldn't even corntain themselves. We cornsidered staying for the entire show, but we had to get back on the road (even though the it was amaizeing).

​After a long day of driving, we safely arrived at our housing location in Eagle Butte, South Dakota located on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation. We ​will be working for the week with a local non-profit, Okiciyapi Tipi, dedicated to improving housing conditions on the reservation.
