SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — People lined the streets for Sioux Falls' 7th annual Native American Day parade. "There wasn't ever any kind of celebrations or events or anything for Native Americans. And that was to our goal basically was to have something here for us and being able to show the youth, you know, that we're able to celebrate one another and in a positive way and just keep moving forward," parade committee member, Shaina Yellowback said. The Sioux Falls parade draws people from all over. "We have someone coming up from Nebraska. We have people coming from Sisseton, Flandreau, Rosebud, Crow Creek, Yankton, it's amazing to see how many people do come and travel to Sioux Falls just for this parade here," Yellowback said. "To see the natives and to see all the different floats, family members," Bryan Joseph & Hannah Hare said.
