This is the South Dakota I wish I could have seen.

This is a Lakota village on the South Dakota prairie in the 1800's.

Thanks to my good friend, Gary, from Rapid City who sent this and other great shots which I'll publish later.

 Gary mentioned how sharp and clear the photos were for being so old.  So true, if you didn't know better, you'd swear they were digital.  The more things change, the more they stay the same!
