Maps and Borders
Maps and Borders: Even before the White man entered the upper mid-west region of the United States, borders marked the various territories of the people living in the region. With the advancement of the White culture, those borders have become less fluid. Even so, the borders of South Dakota have changed with the times. This episode looks at how borders have affected our growth as a state and influenced how we live.
