  • THE AFTERMATH of the 1972 RAPID CITY FLOOD Arnett S
    THE AFTERMATHOF THE 1972 RAPID CITY FLOOD Arnett S. Dennis Rapid City, South Dakota Abstract. The aftermath of the 1972 Rapid City flood included a controversy over the propriety of cloud seeding on the day of the flood and a lawsuit against the U. S. Government.Preparation of the defense against the suit involved analyses of hourly rainfall accumulations, radar data from the seeded clouds, and possible microphysical and dynamic effects of seeding clouds with powdered sodium chloride (salt). Recent developments in numerical modeling offer some hope of improved understanding of the storm. However, mesoscale systems remain somewhat unpredictable, and realization of this fact has inhibited research dealing with the deliberate modification of large convective clouds. 1. ORIGIN OF THE CONTROVERSY until about 6:00 p.m. This storm was immediately recognized by our meteorologists as dangerous and The Institute of Atmospheric Sciences (IAS) was never seeded by our group," The Governor’s of the South Dakota School of Mines and Tech- office accepted Schleusener’s report and issued nology (School of Mines) conducted two cloud a statement asking the public to refrain from seeding flights at the eastern edge of the Black Hills spreading rumors. An investigative team sent on Friday, 9 June 1972. Late that evening, a flash to Rapid City by the Bureau of Reclamation flood swept down Rapid Creek and devastated (Reclamation) of the U. S. Departmentof the Interior Rapid City. On the following day, the IAS Director, (Interior), which sponsored the IAS cloud seeding Dr. Richard Schleusener, organized a telephone experiments, also reported in an internal memo- "tree," which produced the gratifying news that all randum dated 21 June that cloud seeding did not IAS staff membersand their immediate families cause the flood.

  • Full Investigations and Windshield Surveys
    Appendix 2: Full Investigations and Windshield Surveys During Phase III of the update project, the RCHPC sponsored the creation of nine focused investigations that explored specific aspects of Rapid City’s history. Each essay is available in full below. Each includes samples of historical documentation from newspapers and local archives as well as photographs of buildings and spaces relevant to each topic that still exist in Rapid City. The Ridgeline and the Creek: Landscape and Memory in Rapid City The Black Hills formed when a large, oblong section of igneous rock lifted through the earth’s mantle some 65 million years ago, breaking through the limestone crust to expose the large, stone center of the Hills. In and around this central ring, forests thick with ponderosa pines, blue spruce, and cedar trees cropped up. They intersperse in meadows with prairie grasses and shrubs and are home to an array of animals including deer, elk, beavers, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, rabbits, and more. Bison, grizzly bears, wolves, mountain lions, and coyote once inhabited the vast prairies surrounding the Black Hills. Most of the large predators and most of the bison were killed off or pushed out as Euro-Americans displaced early Indigenous inhabitants. Rapid City grew up at the vertex of water and stone. A long, narrow ridgeline juts from south to north. Residents can look up at the ridge from any side of town or peer down over the vast distance visible from Skyline Drive or Highway 16. The ridge forms the backbone of the Rapid City landscape and includes two main parts from south the north: Hangman’s Hill, which is traversed by Skyline Drive, and Cowboy Hill, which begins immediately north of Rapid Creek.

  • SBCC-Report Revised
    I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The 730-acre property at Sitting Bull Crystal Caverns (SBCC) is of great significance to the geological history of the Black Hills, as well as the histories of South Dakota tourism and, most importantly, of the Oceti Sakowin (“Great Sioux Nation”). Located about ten miles south of downtown Rapid City on Highway 16, the property sits in the heart of the sacred Black Hills (Paha Sapa), which are the creation place of the Lakota people. The Sitting Bull Cave system—named after the famed Hunkpapa leader, who is said to have camped on the property in the late 1800s—is located in the “Pahasapa limestone,” a ring of sedimentary rock on the inner edges of the “Racetrack” described in Lakota oral traditions. There are three caves in the system. The deepest, “Sitting Bull Cave,” boasts some of the largest pyramid-shaped “dog tooth spar” calcite crystals anywhere in the world. The cave opened to tourists after significant excavation in 1934 and operated almost continuously until 2015. It was among the most successful early tourist attractions in the Black Hills, due to the cave’s stunning beauty and the property’s prime location on the highway that connects Rapid City to Mount Rushmore. 2. The Duhamel Sioux Indian Pageant was created by Oglala Holy Man Nicholas Black Elk and held on the SBCC grounds from 1934 to 1957. Black Elk was a well-known Oglala Lakota whose prolific life extended from his experience at the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876 to the publication of Black Elk Speaks in 1932 and beyond.

  • Inventing Indian Country: Race and Environment in the Black Hills 1851-1981
    INVENTING INDIAN COUNTRY: RACE AND ENVIRONMENT IN THE BLACK HILLS 1851-1981 A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY by Stephen R. Hausmann May 2019 Examining Committee Members: Andrew Isenberg, Advisory Chair, History Department, University of Kansas Seth Bruggeman, History Department Jessica Roney, History Department Bryant Simon, History Department Ari Kelman, External Member, University of California-Davis ABSTRACT In 1972, a flood tore through Rapid City, South Dakota, killing 238 people. Many whose lives and homes were destroyed lived in a predominately Native American neighborhood known as “Osh Kosh Camp.” This dissertation asks: why did those people lived in that neighborhood at that time? The answer lies at the intersection of the histories of race and environment in the American West. In the Black Hills region, white Americans racialized certain spaces under the conceptual framework of Indian Country as part of the process of American conquest on the northern plains beginning in the mid- nineteenth century. The American project of racializing Western spaces erased Indians from histories of Rapid City, a process most obviously apparent in the construction of Mount Rushmore as a tourist attraction. Despite this attempted erasure, Indians continued to live and work in the city and throughout the Black Hills. In Rapid City, rampant discrimination forced Native Americans in Rapid City to live in neighborhoods cut off from city services, including Osh Kosh Camp After the flood, activists retook the Indian Country concept as a tool of protest. This dissertation claims that environment and race must be understood together in the American West.

  • Department of Geology and Geological Engineering 2020 Alumni Newsletter
    Department of Geology and Geological Engineering 2020 Alumni Newsletter 2 From the newsletter coordinator – Christopher Pellowski Greetings alumni and friends! Please enjoy reading the 2020 edition of the alumni newsletter. This newsletter is also accessible on the department’s alumni newsletter webpage: https://www.sdsmt.edu/Academics/Departments/Geology-and-Geological- Engineering/Activities-and-Organizations/Alumni-Newsletters/ Status of the Department Alumni and friends, 2020 has been an extraordinary year. I hope you all are healthy and safe. We have had both ups and downs in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering (GGE) this year and although responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have been a challenge for all of us, there are also some silver linings. We would like to acknowledge the gifts we received for the Department or the Museum of Geology. In Fiscal Year 2020 we received, $198,623 in unendowed gifts to support department initiatives and $76,244 to support the Museum of Geology. Gifts to the department supported the Energy Research Initiative (ERI), students, scholarships, the geospatial lab, student clubs, and the department in general. In FY21, we discontinued the ERI Director position, although energy research and education efforts continue within the department. Most gifts for the Museum were provided by alumna Dr. Rachel Benton (MS PALE 91) to support National Park Service Collections. We are very excited to have the opportunity to rehouse, care for, and catalog these important collections and also train students in current collections care practices. We thank all friends, alumni, and corporate partners for your generous support of our students and programs.
