Our next “warmth” delivery will bo to Cheyenne Ricer Rez, with your continued support this will be a great success…

CHEYENNE RIVER SIOUX REZ..

The county, one of two on the Cheyenne river Indian reservation, has a poverty rate of 49.1%, the highest of any of the 3,141 “counties or county equivalents” in the United States.

Most towns in Ziebach County are just clusters of homes between cattle ranches. Families live in dilapidated houses or run-down trailers. Multicolored patches of siding show where repairs were made as cheaply as possible.

Families fortunate enough to have leases to tribal land can make money by raising cattle. Opportunities are scarce for almost everyone else.

The few people who have jobs usually have to drive up to 80 miles to tribal headquarters. The nearest major population centers are Rapid City and Bismarck, each a trip of 150 miles or more.
