It’s the poorest place in the United States.
And some travelers are going there to donate their time, to volunteer and to observe the ancient traditions and culture of the Oglala Lakota Sioux Indian on their reservation in Pine Ridge, S.D.
The syndicated Raw Travel is debuting “Pine Ridge — Tribal Tourism” this weekend to kick off the holiday season. Raw Travel, currently in its third season, airs in more than 140 cities.
“Native American youth … need our help,” said Robert Rose, Tribal Tourism’s executive producer.
“The people of Pine Ridge are resilient and hospitable in the face of adversity few of us can comprehend. I hope this episode will not only raise awareness, but also motivate others to donate, volunteer or travel to the reservation.”
Raw Travel is donating money raised through the sale of an upcoming special DVD release and pay-per-view fundraising screenings. The funds will be allocated for after-school programs in cooperation with the Red Cloud School featured in the episode.
