The Community – Pine Ridge, SD
The Oglala Lakota tribe, part of the Greater Sioux Nation, still lives on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, the second largest reservation in the United States. Pine Ridge serves as tribal headquarters and is located near the Nebraska border in the southernmost part of the Badlands and Black Hills Region. With its remote location, Pine Ridge features expansive landscapes for wilderness camping and exploring. Visitors can also find comfortable lodging on the reservation during their stay. The rugged terrain around Pine Ridge features wide-open prairies, grasslands and the mystical Badlands of South Dakota. These lands are sacred to the tribe and offer a serene way to reconnect with nature.
