The state of South Dakota celebrated Native American Day on Monday, the replacement holiday for Columbus Day.
The Multi-Cultural Center of Sioux Falls held a powwow and resource fair to mark the occasion.
About 1,000 people attended the event.
At the Crazy Horse Memorial, students heard from Phillip Whiteman, a Cheyenne storyteller and dancer from Montana, and Theodore Gull, a astrophysicist from the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. Whiteman and Gull encouraged the students to be proud of their heritage.
