These are photos from the Road Trip to Eagle Butte, SD!
So this is our 3rd day in at the Main Youth Center at the Cheyenne River Reservation...and we quickly realized that we will not have much free time: we start at 9am and end with dinner by 9pm. It may be a long and tiring day, but we gain interesting experiences that we can learn from. From the morning until 4pm, we do activities around the Center before the children and teens come to the Youth Center. Then, starting at 4pm, we get to hang out with either the younger children or the teens. Some days we get a speaker or presenter come in to talk to us or the teens. For example, Wednesday we had a lawyer who represents the Lakota tribe talk to us about certain laws/treaties that we made in regards to Native Americans. Thursday, we had a representative from University of South Dakota come in to talk to some teens about possibly going to their university. After the dinner, we have reflections about our experiences during the day. Overall, it is really fun!! :D
