for my senior project i went to the Lakota reservation in South Dakota for a whole week April 4 - April 10 on a school trip. it was great. i learned a lot about the Lakota history, culture and beliefs. we arrived there saturday afternoon at 4:00 pm. we unpacked , chose our beds and had dinner and went to bed for next day. sunday we had a tour day around the reservation , and visit wounded knee massacre. walked around the black heels and the cemetery where people had been buried from the massacre. then off we went to look at the art people were sailing. monday was a worked day. we were put in groups of 5. one day two groups will go out on the reservation and the other two stayed in the shop since there were only 4 groups. one group made bonk beds one day while the other went and build wheel chair ramps for people who still needed one. next day we switch groups and finished up what still ended to get done. and the other group went to set up an bathrooms for people who didn't have running water to use it. thursday was a tour/visiting day for us. we went to the school church , stores, shops, and collage and learned about the Lakota history. every day after dinner we will have a different speaker that came talked to us , and share their stories with us. it was my favorite part ! it made me realize lots of things. be more grateful and to be wiser. so manny things we take for granted and that we do not appreciate. i learned a lot on this trip. it changed my lives perspective. I'm glad i went.
