South Dakota Black Hills Cultural History Tour

Would you like to hear the story of the Black Hills from a Native American and the company owner? This tour has dual guides that are experts in settler and Native American history. You won't find this anywhere. We tell the story of the Black Hills from all angles, giving you a well-rounded perspective while enjoying what makes this place special.
Ryan Little Eagle is a Lakota storyteller and musician. Daniel is a history enthusiast and explorer. Combining these two creates a unique and fun experience you'll find nowhere else.

You'll learn about Lakota history through songs, artifacts, and interaction. Nature is taught through the plants and animals of the season. The construction and purpose of both Crazy Horse and Rushmore are included in this adventure. You can expect a friendly atmosphere, banter, and great wildlife sightings.

Get the real story from two cultures that have found a way to interact and get along just fine.
