Session 4 - The Lakota Path Begins

Days 1-3 of Session 4 - The Lakota Path  

A Vore Buffalo Jump Guide tells us about the Native Americans using this sink hole as a method for trapping Bison to prepare for their long winters - it dates back to before the time of Christopher Columbus.


A late afternoon hike around Devils Tower (the 1st National Monument) to learn about the Native American Legend and the geological story of the rock volcanic structure. The campers didn't believe it is great for rock climbing until they saw a group coming down! After dinner the kids watched "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kinds" that was filmed at the Tower.


A "protected" Prairie Dog Town at Devils Tower National Monument...they are out and about visiting each other at dawn and dusk...very social creatures.


A Native American metal sculpture at Little Big Horn Battlefield.


Custer's Head Stone on Last Stand Hill at Little Big Horn. His body was moved and laid to rest at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, NY.


Day 1 - No rest for the weary travelers...a short hike to see Pictograph Cave.
