Buffalo/Bison are a part of history and were important to the Plains Indians, so it is important to preserve the buffalo that are left.

In South Dakota, buffalo are a part of the tourist industry with people traveling to South Dakota to see buffalo or to hunt buffalo or to watch the annual round up in Custer State Park.

Buffalo/Bison are also important in South Dakota because buffalo meat is considered to be a lean meat and is sold in many restaurants.

The Dakota Territory was incorporated as a US territory on March 2, 1861. On November 2, 1889, the remains of the territory became the states of North Dakota and South Dakota.

There is a vast employment opportunity in South Dakota if, and only if you have the correct combination of education, prior experience and training, skill and other board qualifications essential for the task at hand.

A degree in Animal Husbandry before gaining a Harvard MBA does not make you an expert burger flipper.

South Dakota suffers from a drain of the best and the brightest who seek employment out of state. Inheriting the family farm is no longer the continuation of a family dynasty, it is often the start of a mental health problem.

If this question is related to the American Civil War or War of Rebellion, the Dakota Territory itself didn't really choose a side due to the fact that the territory was sparsely populated and newly organized in early 1861.

Since the Dakota Territory was a territory of the United States, the territorial governor was authorized, in 1861, by the War Department, to raise two cavalry companies to be used during the War of the Rebellion (American Civil War).

However, these two cavalry companies formed the First Dakota Cavalry, a Union Battalion whose main purpose was to protect the settlers due to the Indian grievances against the Lincoln Administration.

A 16 year old in South Dakota may file a petition for emancipation in South Dakota. However, the 16 yer old must be able to show that they are managing their own financial affairs and that they are not earning any income from crime.

The parents or guardians must be notified and either consent to the emancipation or the minor must be able to show that there is no known address for the parents or guardians.

Another way would be to get married or to join the Armed Forces.
