I am just curious as to how many Native Americans attended this event, I don't see any in the pictures, or anyone of Native American descent that was interviewed. Could anyone answer my question. I thought South Dakota has many Sioux Nations. Are they welcomed in South Dakota is my other question?

really good sarah
