PIEDMONT –– Participants from coast to coast gathered at the second annual Unity Concert for the Black Hills, which brought some 50 musical acts to an outdoor stage here on the banks of Elk Creek, Aug. 28-30, in what organizers said is an effort to educate the general public on the history of Lakota Territory.

“With last year's event attracting over 2,000 people and over a dozen renowned entertainers and American Indian spiritual leaders, we are so excited to continue to showcase the dedication and talent at this year's Unity Concert for the Black Hills," said event organizer Lyla June Johnston.
