In 1990, during the proclaimed Year of Reconciliation, South Dakota became the first state to recognize Native American Day as an official state holiday. Since then, celebrations throughout the state have continued to grow. Namely, the Native American Day parade in Rapid City, South Dakota.
We had an amazing presence at the parade this year with numerous employees and family members joining in the fun. We had over 30 people handing out stickers and candy, four vehicles, and Louie, of course! Our strong presence showed our commitment to celebrating the diversity and culture that makes us unique.
We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
