Wanblee, SD

The information is beginning to come in. It looks like I will most likely be teaching at Crazy Horse High School in Wanblee, SD, just south of the Badlands on the Pine Ridge reservation. The population of Wanblee in 2000 was 641, and as far as I can tell, the only places of business in town are a health clinic and a dental clinic. I will be about 25 miles from Interior, SD, a tourist town just outside Badlands National Park, and 35 miles from Kadoka, SD, where there are some restaurants. I'll be 111 miles from Rapid City, the big city for those of us from Western South Dakota. You can see a map of Wanblee here.

From the pictures I posted a few days ago, here is a shot of the Badlands "just outside" of Wanblee:
