Stay in a Traditional Tipi on an Indian Reservation in South Dakota

The evening dinners will be spent by the open fire listening to songs and stories of the Lakota or the howling of the coyotes. The Lakota people are asked to join our dinner and tell you about culture, politics, economy, and history of their land. Part of this unique experience will be an evening with a drum group and traditional hand games. Guests will learn how to bead and cook traditional Lakota foods in workshops. Other activities include horseback riding, drum-groups, workshops in traditional cooking, workshops in traditional Lakota art and hiking tours through the Badlands.

The events here will differ slightly from group to group, depending on what is taking place on the Reservation during the different tour dates. Guests will have the opportunity to visit historical places on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation: Wounded Knee, Heritage museum at Red Cloud Indian School, the Historical Center of the Oglala Lakota College, Fort Robinson and the Badlands. There will be a one-day tour through the Black Hills, Buffalo Gap, in which guests will visit Custer State National Park, Crazy Horse Monument, Mount Rushmore and Wind Cave.
