Rapid City, South Dakota
Rapid City (Lakota: Mni Lúzahaŋ Otȟúŋwahe; Swift Water City) is the second-largest city in the State of South Dakota, and the county seat of Pennington County. Named after Rapid Creek on which the city is established, it is set against the eastern slope of the Black Hills mountain range. The population was 67,956 as of the 2010 Census. Rapid City is known as the Gateway to the Black Hills and the City of Presidents. The city is split by a low mountain ridge that divides the western and eastern parts of the city. Ellsworth Air Force Base is located on the outskirts of the city. Camp Rapid, a part of the United States Army National Guard, is located in the western part of the city. The historic Old West town of Deadwood is nearby. In the neighboring Black Hills are the popular tourist attractions of Mount Rushmore, the Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park, and Wind Cave National Park.

Roy Hendrickson 2019 Hall of Famer
Legends Of South Dakota Country Music Hall of Fame proudly presents: “2019 Hall of Famer Roy Hendrickson”
Roy Hendrickson of Custer was inducted into the Legends of South Dakota Country Music (LOSDCMA) Hall of Fame Sunday in Rapid City.
South Dakota has a long history of country music and the LOSDCMA was created to retain and honor the legacy of country music and preserve its history. Country music was played around cattle drives, campfires, on front porches, family gatherings and many other places.
Radio stations started playing country music as early as 1922. Barn dances, saloons and honky-tonks were underway and later came street dances, ballrooms and nightclubs.
An annual event is held each year to induct those who have given so much of their lives to entertain and keep the spirit of country music alive.
Roy was raised west of Custer on the 160-acre Hendrickson homestead which was settled by his great-grandfather in 1897. His grandparents raised 12 children at Four Mile, with Roy being the youngest.
No one else in the large family played music. However, as a youngster, Roy quickly developed an interest in it. His early musical influences were Elvis, Eddy Arnold, Jim Reeves, Johnny Horton, Don Gibson and family member Johnny Thomsen.
His mother encouraged Roy to learn guitar at the age of 8. He tired of lessons and quit and taught himself to play by ear. He sang so often that family members remarked, jokingly, that the milk cows could not give milk because of his constant singing! “Cattle Call” was one of the many songs he sang to the expressionless cows.
A turning point in Roy’s life came when a teacher overheard his rendition of “Blueberry Hill” on the playground and insisted he perform the song at the Four Mile one-room country school for the school play. This was Roy’s first time singing in public and he found the experience more intimidating than singing to the milk cows.
He quickly decided that if he wanted to entertain, he would have to push past his bashfulness. So that is what he did.
In the early years of his musical career, he played bar venues. Mari, Roy’s wife, encouraged him to leave the honky-tonk show circuit so he would have more time for family life and he did so. He began playing gospel music in church and at Christian events. He believes the foundation of a good family life starts with God and His saving grace.
In 1972, Roy learned the “Auctioneer” song and the audiences actually thought Roy was an auctioneer. He attended Western College of Auctioneering in Billings, Mont., and starting in 1976, operated Hendrickson Auctioneering for 30 years.
Roy loves music and entertaining and has been a part of numerous musical adventures over the years. He delights in singing Western, country, country Western, country swing, saddle songs, ’50s, gospel, basically all music, you name it, he enjoys it. He has earned the nickname “Cowboy Roy.”
He has played in various chuckwagon shows in the Hills, including Mountain Music Show, Ramblin’ Fever, The Crawford Family, Circle B Cowboys, Flying T Wranglers, The Fort with the Dakota Country Family Music Show, Hill Billy Heaven, Dakota Jamboree, Fort Hayes, Tri County Riders and Palmer Gulch Chuckwagon.
He has also played in Wagons of the West Jamboree in Colorado, a Southern Gospel show in McCall Creek, Miss., and a gathering of musicians in Thermopolis, Wyo. Roy played as the Chuck and Roy duet for many years with his long-time friend and musical ally, the late Chuck Biegler. Often, Roy’s son, Brenden, would join the duet. Roy was with the Crawford family from Canada for many years.
He has entertained troops at Ellsworth Air Force Base, the veterans at the VA Center in Hot Springs, an assisted living center in Arizona where his mother and step-father lived, and at senior citizen centers and manors. He has also performed at the Shrine Hospital in St. Paul, Minn., Buffalo Ridge Theater, Burning of the Beetle and bluegrass events in this area as well in Mississippi.
He sang and played with Buddy Meredith and the Buddies and The Buffalo B Band (Roy’s son Brenden’s band). He plays for family gatherings, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, hootenannies, funerals and celebrations of life and many other occasions. Roy recalls one such event for an auctioneer friend, Bud Knight, where he was requested to sing “In the Garden.” Minutes before the funeral started, a family member asked Roy to also sing the “Auctioneer” song and “Wabash Cannonball.” The “Wabash Cannonball” turned into a “hand-clap’n, foot stomp’n, guitar strum’n, fun lov’n and feel’n,” thus touching the heavy hearts in the funeral parlor that day.
Roy’s performances have spanned 50-plus years and were always infused with humor. He expertly plays guitar, bass, harmonica and says he plays “just enough fiddle to be a menace to society.”
The love of music is a legacy Roy has tried to pass on to his family. While his children were growing up, Roy taught them

Remember Wounded Knee*The Ghost Dance War
The armed resistance was over. The remaining Sioux were forced into reservation life at gunpoint. Many Sioux sought spiritual guidance. Thus began a religious awakening among the tribes of North America.
Arrival of the Ghost Dance
Called the Ghost Dance by the white soldiers who observed the new practice, it spread rapidly across the continent. Instead of bringing the answer to their prayers, however, the Ghost Dance movement resulted in yet another human travesty.
It all began in 1888 with a Paiute holy man called WOVOKA. During a total eclipse of the sun, Wovoka received a message from the Creator. Soon an Indian messiah would come and the world would be free of the white man. The Indians could return to their lands and the buffalo would once again roam the Great Plains.
Wovoka even knew that all this would happen in the spring of 1891. He and his followers meditated, had visions, chanted, and performed what became known as the GHOST DANCE. Soon the movement began to spread. Before long, the Ghost Dance had adherents in tribes throughout the South and West.
Although Wovoka preached nonviolence, whites feared that the movement would spark a great Indian rebellion. Ghost Dance followers seemed more defiant than other Native Americans, and the rituals seemed to work its participants into a frenzy. All this was disconcerting to the soldiers and settlers throughout the South and West. Tragedy struck when the Ghost Dance movement reached the Lakota Sioux.
Local residents of South Dakota demanded that the Sioux end the ritual of the Ghost Dance. When they were ignored, the United States Army was called for assistance. Fearing aggression, a group of 300 Sioux did leave the reservation. Army regulars believed them to be a hostile force preparing for attack. When the two sides came into contact, the Sioux reluctantly agreed to be tranported to WOUNDED KNEE CREEK on PINE RIDGE RESERVATION.
A Final Tragedy
On the morning of December 29, 1890, the army demanded the surrender of all Sioux weapons. Amid the tension, a shot rang out, possibly from a deaf brave who misunderstood his chief's orders to surrender.
The Seventh Cavalry — the reconstructed regiment lost by George Armstrong Custer — opened fire on the Sioux. The local chief, BIG FOOT, was shot in cold blood as he recuperated from pneumonia in his tent. Others were cut down as they tried to run away. When the smoke cleared almost all of the 300 men, women, and children were dead. Some died instantly, others froze to death in the snow.
This massacre marked the last showdown between Native Americans and the United States Army. It was nearly 400 years after Christopher Columbus first contacted the first Americans. The 1890 United States census declared the frontier officially closed.

Lakota Teton Sioux
Images: Lakota People 1868 until 1931.
Sitting Bull (Lakota: Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake in Standard Lakota Orthography, also nicknamed Slon-he or Slow; c. 1831 -- December 15, 1890) was a Hunkpapa Lakota Sioux holy man who led his people as a tribal chief during years of resistance to United States government policies. He was killed by Indian agency police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation during an attempt to arrest him at a time when authorities feared that he would join the Ghost Dance movement.
Lakota (also Lakhota, Teton, Teton Sioux) is a Siouan language spoken by the Lakota people of the Sioux tribes. While generally taught and considered by speakers as a separate language, Lakota is mutually intelligible with the other two languages (cf. Dakota language), and is considered by most linguists one of the three major varieties of the Sioux language.
The Lakota people (also known as Teton, Titunwan (prairie dwellers), Teton Sioux (snake, or enemy) are an indigenous people of the Great Plains of North America. They are part of a confederation of seven related Sioux tribes, the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ or seven council fires, and speak Lakota, one of the three major dialects of the Sioux language.
The Lakota are the westernmost of the three Siouan language groups, occupying lands in both North and South Dakota. The seven bands or sub-tribes of the Lakota are:
Sičháŋǧu (Brulé, Burned Thighs)
Oglála (They Scatter Their Own)
Itázipčho (Sans Arc, Without Bows)
Húŋkpapȟa (End Village, Camps at the End of the Camp Circle)
Mnikȟówožu (Plant beside the Stream, Planters by the Water)
Sihásapa (Black Feet)
Oóhenuŋpa (Two Kettles)
The Black Hills were considered sacred by the Lakota, and they objected to mining. In 1868, the United States signed the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868, exempting the Black Hills from all white settlement forever. Four years later gold was discovered there, and prospectors descended on the area.
The attacks on settlers and miners were met by military force conducted by army commanders such as Lieutenant Colonel George Armstrong Custer. General Philip Sheridan encouraged his troops to hunt and kill the buffalo as a means of destroying the Indians' commissary.
The allied Lakota and Arapaho bands and the unified Northern Cheyenne were involved in much of the warfare after 1860. They fought a successful delaying action against General George Crook's army at the Battle of the Rosebud, preventing Crook from locating and attacking their camp, and a week later defeated the U.S. 7th Cavalry in 1876 at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, which the Lakota call the Greasy Grass Fight. Custer attacked a camp of several tribes, much larger than he realized. Their combined forces killed 258 soldiers, wiping out the entire Custer battalion, and inflicting more than 50% casualties on the regiment.
Their victory over the U.S. Army would not last, however. The US Congress authorized funds to expand the army by 2500 men. The reinforced US Army defeated the Lakota bands in a series of battles, finally ending the Great Sioux War in 1877. The Lakota were eventually confined onto reservations, prevented from hunting buffalo and forced to accept government food distribution.
In 1877 some of the Lakota bands signed a treaty that ceded the Black Hills to the United States; however, the nature of this treaty and its passage were controversial. The number of Lakota leaders that actually backed the treaty is highly disputed. Low-intensity conflicts continued in the Black Hills.. Fourteen years later, Sitting Bull was killed at Standing Rock reservation on December 15, 1890. The US Army attacked Spotted Elk (aka Bigfoot), Mnicoujou band of Lakota at the Wounded Knee Massacre on December 29, 1890 at Pine Ridge.
Today, the Lakota are found mostly in the five reservations of western South Dakota: Rosebud Indian Reservation (home of the Upper Sičhánǧu or Brulé), Pine Ridge Indian Reservation (home of the Oglála), Lower Brule Indian Reservation (home of the Lower Sičhaŋǧu), Cheyenne River Indian Reservation (home of several other of the seven Lakota bands, including the Mnikȟówožu, Itázipčho, Sihásapa and Oóhenumpa), and Standing Rock Indian Reservation (home of the Húŋkpapȟa), also home to people from many bands. Lakota also live on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana, the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation of northwestern North Dakota, and several small reserves in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Large numbers of Lakota live in Rapid City and other towns in the Black Hills, and in metro Denver. Lakota elders joined the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) to seek protection and recognition for their cultural and land rights.

America's native prisoners of war: Aaron Huey at TEDxDU
Challenging us with stunning images, Aaron Huey relates the fight for survival on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Aaron began photographing on Pine Ridge Reservation as part of a story on poverty in America, but it has captured his passion for five years. A quintessential example of the failures of the reservation system, he and we cannot turn away from what we see at Pine Ridge.

Brule Airo Ancestors cry .Moses Brings Plenty.2007
Moses J. Brings Plenty (b. 4 Sep 1969) is an Oglala Lakota television, film, and stage actor, as well as a traditional drummer and singer .
Moses Brings Plenty was born on the Pine Ridge Reservation, in South Dakota. He is a direct descendant of Brings Plenty, an Oglala Lakota warrior who fought in the Battle of Little Big Horn.
As an actor, he has played bit parts in Hidalgo, Thunder Heart and Pirates of the Caribbean.He also played Quanah Parker in the History Channel documentary, Comanche Warrior, which was filmed on the Wild Horse Sanctuary in the southern Black Hills, as well as playing Crazy Horse on The History Channel's Investigating History documentary, Who killed Crazy Horse and BBC Custer's Last Stand. He acted in Rez Bomb, considered to be the first movie with a universal storyline set on a reservation. Rez Bomb has been part on the international film festival circuit instead of playing strictly to Native American film festivals, which is a major breakthrough for Native cinema.
He has also done some theater work in Nebraska. He will be part of the upcoming movie, Cowboys and Aliens.
Bring Plenty is concerned about providing accurate representations of Native peoples in mass media. Young people told me they don't see our people on TV. Then it hit me, they are right. Where are our indigenous people, people who are proud of who they are? he says.
Moses Brings Plenty was an expert for Crazy Horse in the third season of Spike TV's Deadliest Warrior.
Deadliest Warrior was a television program in which information on historical or modern warriors and their weapons are used to determine which of them is the deadliest based upon tests performed during each episode. The show was characterized by its use of data compiled in creating a dramatization of the warriors' battle to the death. The show ran for three seasons.
Thunderheart is a 1992 contemporary western mystery film directed by Michael Apted from an original screenplay by John Fusco. The film is a loosely based fictional portrayal of events relating to the Wounded Knee incident in 1973. Followers of the American Indian Movement seized the South Dakota town of Wounded Knee in protest against federal government policy regarding Native Americans. Incorporated in the plot is the character of Ray Levoi, played by actor Val Kilmer, as an FBI agent with Sioux heritage investigating a murder on a Native American reservation. Sam Shepard, Graham Greene, Fred Ward and Sheila Tousey star in principal supporting roles. Also in 1992, Apted had previously directed a documentary surrounding a Native American activist episode involving the murder of FBI agents titled Incident at Oglala. The documentary depicts the indictment of activist Leonard Peltier during a 1975 shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
The film was a co-production between the motion picture studios of TriStar Pictures, Tribeca Productions, and Waterhorse Productions.

Paul LaRoche grew up as part of a white middle-class family in the small community of Worthington in southwest Minnesota. He was adopted at birth, and his talent for music was evident at an early age. Paul knew about his adoption but his true heritage was kept a secret.
Armed with the new knowledge of his heritage, Paul re-entered the world of music in the relatively new genre of contemporary Native American music. Mixing the traditional sounds of Native America with the music he grew up with, rock, pop, jazz and everywhere in between, Paul cut his first CD, We The People, and Brulé was born.

Aaron Huey: America's native prisoners of war
Aaron Huey's effort to photograph poverty in America led him to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, where the struggle of the native Lakota people -- appalling, and largely ignored -- compelled him to refocus. Five years of work later, his haunting photos intertwine with a shocking history lesson in this bold, courageous talk from TEDxDU.
