Rosebud agency Indians on South Dakota’s Pine Ridge area purchased 339350 in Liberty bonds and 218800 in US Treasury certificates totaling over 553000 in patriotic securities and donated 18000 to the Red Cross. They held a Red Cross auction on the agency lawn offering livestock crops crafts and more with prices ranging from 40 cents a dozen eggs to 910 beaded dresses and 140 for a prize steer. The article notes 6500 residents, wartime service details, tribal governance, schools, and a shift to modern farming and commerce while preserving loyalty to the Stars and Stripes and Uncle Sam.
