It was a long-overdue "pilgrimage," according to Andres, indicating the respect he holds for his former mentor. Like most of Dunn's students, Andres made his mark in the world of illustration. After Andres, his wife Jane, and son Mark of Portland, Oregon, had the opportunity to see the 94 works by Dunn in the Museum collection, a reception was held in their honor in the Museum galleries.

The first day's sessions addressed the outlook for the South Dakota economy. The second day's sessions considered the topic, "Rural Mainstreet: An American Institution," providing evidence that rural America is not participating fully in the current national economicrecovery; the rural population is dwindling and aging; rural income is sagging; agricultural and natural resource industriesare in recession; and small communities are losing their economic identity. The third day's session discussed the role of rural economic developmentas the keystone to the revitalization of rural America and ideas for formulating rural development policies and strategiesto strengthen the rural economy.

  • Historical Musings: the Contours of South Dakota Political Culture
    Copyright © 2004 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. Historical Musings The Contours of South Dakota Political Culture JON LAUCK, JOHN E. MILLER, AND EDWARD HOGAN like other states of the Midwest and Great Plains, South Dakota en- joys a moderate republican political culture, rooted in a belief in the equality of individuals and their ability to work together for the greater good. While similarities among these states abound, differences also persist. The political culture of South Dakota is distinct from that of Minnesota, known historically for its liberal leanings, and that of Wy- oming, known for its conservatism. The political culture of South Da- kota, where Populism originated, is even quite distinct from that of North Dakota, where radical pohtical reforms did not take hold until later. As the editor of the Watertown Public Opinion noted in 1890, the "politics of North Dakota is a product of an entirely different breed of cats."' We aim to sketch some of the influences that shape the broad contours of South Dakota's political culture and, therefore, the prac- tice of politics in the state. These contours, like those of a winding streambed, can change in response to events and trends from without but frequently return to form, or what anthropologist Adam Kuper calls "the authentic, local way of being different."^ The authors wish to thank Dwight Adams, Robert Burns, Loren Carlson, Herb Cheever, Alan Clem, Marshall Damgaard, Dave Danbom.

  • Minuteman Missile National Historic Site and Badlands National Park
    OPTIONAL PRE-MEETING FIELD TRIP Sunday, June 9, 2013 All-Day Field Trip: Minuteman Missile National Historic Site and Badlands National Park An additional registration fee is required for this field trip. The trip is limited to the first 50 registrants. The trip is open to all professionals, honoraries, guests, and spouses. Schedule: 6:30 – 7:15 AM Breakfast: Pine Crest Ballroom C 7:15 – 7:30 am Bus loading at main entrance to hotel 7:30 AM Bus departure 5:00 PM Return: The Lodge at Deadwood The field trip begins with a 2-hour drive to Launch Facility Delta-09 which is part of the National Park Service’s Minuteman Missile National Historic Site. Here, a National Park Service Ranger will provide a brief presentation on the National Historic Site. Delta-09 was part of the Minuteman I and II missile systems that once dotted the landscapes of South Dakota, North Dakota, Missouri, Montana, Wyoming Colorado, and Nebraska. Currently, Minuteman III missiles remain active in Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, Colorado, and Nebraska. For nearly 30 years, these missiles and their facilities remained on continuous alert serving an important role in America’s triad of defense, including land-based ICBMs. After visiting Launch Facility Delta-09, we will travel for another 19 miles to the northeast entrance of Badlands National Park. There, we will be joined by Dr. Rachael Benton, Park Paleontologist, and Dr. Emmett Evanoff, Assistant Professor of Geology at the University of Northern Colorado, who will lead the remainder of the trip through the Park. The Badlands of South Dakota is one of the most remarkable areas in North America, noted for its stark beauty, exceptional vertebrate fossils, and unique geologic history.

  • Papers of the Dakota Conference Index: 1990-2015
    Papers of the Dakota Conference A National Conference on the Northern Plains Index: 1990-2015 Compiled by Matthew Housiaux Team The Center for Western Studies Preface The Center for Western Studies (CWS) of Augustana is pleased to make available this index to the Papers of the Dakota Conference on Northern Plains History, Literature, Art, and Archaeology for the period 1990 to 2015. Over the years, many individuals have contributed to this index. This update, for 2011 to 2015, was compiled by CWS Intern Matthew Housiaux. In 1989, following the Twenty-second Annual Dakota History Conference, Dakota State University, the home of the conference since its founding in February 1969, invited South Dakota institutions to consider sponsoring the conference, since the academic program at Dakota State no longer accommodated a history conference. The Center for Western Studies agreed to administer the conference beginning in 1990, with the promise of financial support consideration from the South Dakota Humanities Council. The Humanities Council provided grant support for the conference annually from 1990 to 2008, in response to competitive proposals submitted by CWS. Over the years, significant additional financial support has been received from several individuals and organizations. For twenty-six years, the Center for Western Studies has not only administered the conference but has also expanded its scope to include the northern Great Plains and welcomed papers on literature, art, and archaeology as well as history. Dedicated to examining regional issues in their historical and cultural contexts, the Dakota Conference is a signature event of CWS, which provides programming in Northern Plains studies at Augustana College.

A plan is needed to guide decision-makers on how to manage this national historic site. This document presents four alternatives for how the national historic site should be managed — e.g., where should the visitor / administrative facility be located, what should visitors learn about the site, and how should visitors access the site? Each of these decisions has implications for how visitors access and use the national historic site and the facilities needed to support those uses, how the site’s resources are managed, and how the National Park Service manages its operations. This document examines four alternatives for managing the national historic site for the next 25 years.

    FACT BOOK FY2021 J;J; South Dakota School for the Deaf South Dakota Board of Regents Offi ce of the Executive Director www.sdbor.edu A Note to Readers of the FY21 Fact Book The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges for South Dakota’s public universities and special schools. Our response to COVID-19 required all institutions to adjust dynamically to an evolving public health challenge. Faculty, staff, administrators, and students adapted as many operational and instructional changes were implemented. Some classes continued online or used a hybrid-learning model, offering a mix of virtual and in-person learning. Special schools also quickly adjusted to meet students’ needs in new ways. A guiding principle remained – to ensure that students complete their degrees or stay on track for graduation. As a result, some data points presented in this FY21 Fact Book may look quite different from information routinely reported in previous Fact Book publications. We encourage readers to review these data carefully, with the caveat that FY21 was a year unlike any in the history of public higher and K-12 education.
