I especially think Porcupine (God's Country") and Manderson are pretty....GOD that hurt to say that. (lol I have friends from Manderson and if they see me say that...oh well, yes guys it is beautiful out there.)Dana Danehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065942935259619884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602896217001030036.post-1506194490491904932007-04-11T04:23:00.000-07:002007-04-11T04:23:00.000-07:00Hi Dana: I was on the rez in August, & I agree wi...Hi Dana: I was on the rez in August, & I agree with Josie, it's a breathtakingly beautiful place. Your pics show that. Pine Ridge village does need some work. I'm a social worker, & I think it's kinda like this: when individuals people get depressed, they let their own homes go, & even themselves. Maybe seeing the young ones like yours out picking trash will not only lift spirits (give hope for the future), but will also inspire people to pick up trash in their own yards & around their businesses (or to pick up trash in an elder's yard). Your spirit may move a mountain...of trash!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667725156744495959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2602896217001030036.post-29666750781908490862007-04-10T15:00:00.000-07:002007-04-10T15:00:00.000-07:00To me, the reservation is a breathtakingly beautif...To me, the reservation is a breathtakingly beautiful place - just as you show it in your pictures; I love driving there! I struggle too, to understand the trashing of our mother earth - not just there, but everywhere. If only people truly understood that what we do to her is ultimately killing us.josie2shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452791371126155173noreply@blogger.com
