...Inipi (sweat lodge), Wiyang Wacipi (sun dance), and the Hanbleceya (vision quest). My family has a rich, proud history. We are descendants of Gall and Rocky Buttes. These were women and men who fought along side Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.Today, debilitating diseases such as diabetes, alcoholism, heart disease, and suicide affect our people at a rate more than three times the national average. Due to these conditions, American Indians have had to acclimate themselves to living day-to-day under extremely extenuating circumstances.Growing up on the reservation, we were oblivious...

The story begins two weeks after Custer's last stand at Little Bighorn and features fictional characters like a marshal turned merchant played by Timothy Olyphant (Gone in Sixty Seconds) as well as historical figures like "Wild Bill" Hickok (Keith Carradine...
...wilderness areas that lie within a 75-mile radius. One area attraction, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, was recently elevated to national-park status. With its spectacular gorge, black rock walls and sculpted red sandstone, the park draws visitors to camp and mountain-bike and marvel at the bighorn sheep and bald eagles. White-water rafting is available just outside the park...
