Playing Games

Playing Games: Sports have always played a role in the lives of human beings. This was true of the early Native Americans who lived in this region, and it was true of our earliest settlers.

This program explores the role of professional and amateur sports in our state's history. For a rural state, South Dakota has produced several world-class athletes. This episode of Dakota Pathways looks at the ins and outs of various sports in South Dakota.
