I hope we get more tourist here and that they spend lots of money, hopefully that will help th economy.

As far as local flavor, it's everywhere. The Prairie Wind Casino is about the only tourist hot spot. Everywhere else is pure Pine Ridge.

When visiting other countries, I've noticed that it can be very difficult to get in touch with the real local flavor, rather than the tourist hot-spots. Everyone knows that when you go to the Black Hills you should visit Mt. Rushmore and Custer State Park, but I guess I've never really thought of the Reservation as a visitor destination. Is there some sort of organized program that can be tapped into, available specifically to Germans or maybe also to other visitors?
