Dusk over a church. A Pine Ridge landscape with a small wooden Episcopalean church on a hill. The church has played a variety of roles in the history fo the subjugation of the Lakota indians. Many on the reservation view the various churches with reservation, but others see them as a source of strength and a vital part of their Lakota identity. Today they are also at the fore front of the revitalization of the Lakota culture for example at institutions like the Red Cloud School in Pine Ridge.
