Tribe Gets Funds For Earth Lodge

Associated Press

The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe will get a $74,000 federal grant to build a Narrows Earthlodge Interpretive Center near the Missouri River.

The Narrows is a huge bend in the river. Travelers can walk about 1.5 miles across the gap to each the other side or travel 25 miles around the bend on the water.

The grant, which was announced by U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson, D-S.D., will be used for a series of interpretive panels along the Native American Scenic Byway.

Visitors will be able to learn about American Indian culture and about the life of the Arikara tribe, which once inhabited the river valley.
