Description
Houston marks Native American Day with the real story behind the state’s name, which traces back to a word that means friend or ally. He digs into Billy Mills, the Pine Ridge runner who shocked the world at the 1964 Olympics, and the Lakota code talkers whose language helped win World War Two while staying classified for decades. He also explains why the Lakota have let a billion dollar settlement for the Black Hills sit untouched since 1980.
