Porcupine, South Dakota (Special to NFIC)
It was the busiest weekend in 2007, August 4 and 5 on the Pine Ridge reservation, with the 22nd annual Oglala Lakota Nation contest pow wow and rodeo, the final days of the Two Dogs and the Swallow Sun Dance, and a constant roar of Harleys headed to Sturgis through the Badlands.
A steady stream of bikers, on an estimated 600,000 motorcycles, traveled South Dakota highways; some stopped to pay their respects at the Wounded Knee Memorial; while others bartered for arts and crafts at makeshift huts covered with fresh pine-bough roofs across the road.
