Mercer County, North Dakota, which there are five different Knife River Flint Quarries in Mercer County. The three closest quarries to where the Knife River Flint in this experiment was collected are the Crowley Quarries, Medicine Butte, and Dodge Quarry.

Which is in close…

Since April 2016, the Standing Rock Sioux tribe in North Dakota have been protesting the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline because it could threaten their only source of water. The most frustrating aspect of this situation is that the tribe was not consulted about the pipeline before the approval of it. They were completely blindsided by this news and are now fighting for their land. Recently, a massive Facebook protest also broke out in support of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe where…

Of the many Native American tribes that lived in Oklahoma were the Cheyenne tribe. They settled in present-day Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, and parts of Colorado, Wyoming, and South Dakota. They were farmers along the Sheyenne River valley. Therefore, they were able to settle in villages and develop a somewhat civilized culture.

Wounded knee is located on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota. South Dakota is home to the Sioux tribe and many of its counterparts including the Oglala, Rosebud, and the Yankton Sioux tribes. Wounded Knee, named after a creek on the reservation, was remembered as a place of much resentment, betrayal, of “the white man’s lies and promises,” and of lost hope because of the massacre that took place there in 1890.

The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), also known as the Bakken pipeline because of the area where it begins, will transport 470,000 barrels of crude oil 1,168 miles every day from hydraulic fracturing sites in northwestern North Dakota down to Illinois, if built. There are conflicting reports as to whether the oil would be used in this country or if it would be exported. The current route of the pipeline is less than half of a mile from the Sioux’s reservation border. All along the route of the…

The Battle of Little Bighorn In the land of the Black Hills, gold was discovered by white settlers. This event took place in the 1870’s in Dakota Territory. The chance to get rich was now for the American settlers, but the only problem was a Native American tribe called the Sioux occupied this land. The United States Government saw this as a problem.

On that day the museum had a old claw foot bath tub sitting out in the front that they all took a picture with all of them in it.

They stayed at a pretty nice motel in the badlands, and at night the rangers had been showing…
