On their way out west, our National Parks group stopped at the Dignity of Earth and Sky statue in Chamberlain, SD, discussing the reason for this beautiful statue and some real history of the Native Peoples in the region. They then visited their first national park, the Badlands, learning about indigenous people, geology, and climate change in the park. They’ll continue west over the next couple of days, ultimately ending up at Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Stay tuned!
