Updates
There’s lots of news to report from recent issues of the Todd County Tribune.
Here are highlights:
Don’t know about you, but I LOVE the new modified tipi structure being constructed on the grounds of Sinte Gleska University across from the Administration Building which will be utilized for Lakota studies.
Construction of the more than 100 foot building is planned for completion by August 2011.
It is also said the building will hold an observatory at the top of the tipi for astrological studies.
(January 19th edition)
We’ll have a new option for our listening pleasure as we sweat on the work site.
Besides KINI out of St Francis, the announcement for a new radio station was made on the front page of the latest edition. (February 16th edition)
“KOYA will broadcast at the frequency of 88.1 and will feature classical rock and oldies music for now. They will also be doing memorial requests and will be open minded to other music also. (Open-minded is good).
The call letters – KOYA – are from a translation of the Lakota phrase for “I call out in search of you”.
The first official broadcast date was set for February 24, 2011.
Rosebud tribal planners have meet with the US Department of Veterans Affairs and South Dakotas newest national cemetery will cost an estimated $5.3 million and be located in Mission, SD.
The 80 acre site would be 7 miles north of the Junction of US Highway 18 and 83 on tribal land.
The Black Hills National Cemetery is the only national cemetery in the state.
The next closest national cemetery is Fort Snelling in Minnesota.
“The location of the National cemetery on the Rosebud will relieve the burden of travel on veteran’s families, especially those who live in remote areas in South Dakota”.
And, while it made back page news, I think we can all take some credit for THIS item!
The amount of money spent by travelers in South Dakota jumped $96 million last year!
Overall, tourism generated a record setting total of $1,059,201,417 -breaking the $1 Billion mark for the first time.
Dear South Dakota,
You're welcome.

The opening was accompanied by a ribbon-cutting ceremony and prayers for the station.
The station is located in the old Mission Medical Building located on Main Street.
(For those ‘old timers’ among us – that’s right across from Mission Grocery Store/ACE hardware.)
The other front page article (from the February 16th edition) has to do with Rosebud Sioux Reservation being the first tribe to receive a National Cemetery which will be located on the reservation.
