2025
Dakota Life has been sharing the stories of South Dakota for over 25 years. For the 20222023 season, we were thrilled to visit Belle Fourche, Buffalo, Howard, Lead, Leola, Miller, Mission, Parkston, and Sisseton. Hundreds participated in community conversations, contributed story ideas, shared personal recollections, watched previews of the show, and encouraged our producers. We felt so welcome and made many friends. That process continues as each month Dakota Life visits South Dakota – the state of Great Faces and Great Places. We hope to see you this year!
