Established as the Pine Ridge Agency in southwestern South Dakota between Nebraska and the Black Hills in 1878, Pine Ridge became a reservation in 1889. The second-largest reservation in the country, comprised of almost 2 million acres, it is home to 38,000 residents, almost 18,000 of whom are enrolled members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. The history of the Pine Ridge Reservation is laden with both an awe-inspiring cultural heritage and the tragic effects of forced settlement on the reservation.

This review is from: Pine Ridge Reservation (Images of America: South Dakota) (Paperback)
This book was an outstanding tool in researching the Indians of Crow Creek Reservation. I am doing research on a friend's family and was astounded at what I did NOT know about Indian history.

This review is from: Pine Ridge Reservation (Images of America: South Dakota) (Paperback)
This book is mainly photographs with some very descriptive captions. I think it would be a good reference for anyone studying Native American history or who has ancestors from the Pine Ridge area.
