History 605: S1, Ep 13, "Ben Reifel, Without Reservation"

This podcast is produced by the South Dakota State Historical Society. To support the state historical society, contact the foundation at (605) 773-6346

In this episode, we speak with Historian Sean Flynn from Dakota Wesleyan University about his biography on Ben Reifel. How does a boy born into poverty on the Rosebud Reservation become a man who advocates for Indian education and an Indian policy that is, "Without Reservation"?

I hope you'll join us for this discussion on how one South Dakota leader sought to manage the challenges of two different cultures.

Sean Flynn's book is available here: https://sdhspress.com/books/without-reservation
