North Dakota: People Living On The Land

This state we live in today is the result of thousands of years of human habitation, experimentation, cultural growth, economic change, and political decisions. The process was never easy in a land of hot summers, cold winters, and unreliable rain. The land is both generous and stingy, but North Dakota is a land of resilient people. This is their story — and ours, too.
