Here is a brief introduction to the state of South Dakota.

Capital City: Pierre
Nicknames: Coyote State, Mount Rushmore State   

Population over 760.000 residents

State’s Flag: The stare flag, adopted in 1963, shows the state seal, surrounded by golden rays. The farmer, com, cattle, smelting furnace, and boat represent agriculture, dairying, ranching, mining, transportation, and commerce.   

The wind and the open sky rule in South Dakota, where the rolling prairie and the pine-clad Black Hills are haunted by the ghosts of the Old West-the rumble of long-vanished herds of bison, Sioux leaders like Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, and such soldiers as George A. Custer. While Sioux Falls and Rapid City hum with the typical urban activities, echoes of the frontier live on in the state’s cattle ranches and farms and in the colorful spectacle of tribal powwows.

          People have lived in South Dakota for some 10,000 years. The first residents were Ice Age hunters, but when temperatures warmed up, South Dakota became home to the Arikara, a farming culture that lived along the Missouri River, who built villages of elaborate earthen lodges. The Cheyenne, a hunting nation, lived to the west. South Dakota is indelibly linked, however, with the Sioux, who emigrated from Minnesota in the 1700s. In 1743 La Verendrye brothers are the first whites to enter South Dakota region.

          In 1803 U.S. gains South Dakota from France in Louisiana Purchase. In 1861 Dakota becomes a territory. In 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty founds Great Sioux Reservation. In violation of Laramie Treaty, Lt. Col. George Custer enters the Black Hills and finds gold in 1874. Sioux are forced to surrender the Black Hills in 1877 and in 1878 “Great Dakota Boom” land rush begins. In 1889 South Dakota joins the Union as 40^th state. In 1890 U.S. troops kill about 200 Sioux at Wounded Knee Creek, ending Indian wars.

In 1927 Work begins on Mount Rushmore National Memorial. In 1930s Drought hits South Dakota. In 1960 Ben Reifel is the state’s first American Indian to be elected to Congress. In 1963 Missiles are placed at several sites in South Dakota. In 1980 Supreme Court orders U.S. government to pay Sioux tribes $105 million for 1877 forced surrender of Black Hills. They refuse the money, seeking return of land. In 1991-94 Government removes all missiles from South Dakota.
