“Indian Medicine Tree”

This tree, regarded as ‘medicine’ by the Indians, a scrawny hackberry, growing out of a rock, near Bois Cache Creek, soon to be lost to the rising waters of Oahe Lake, on April 12, 1963 was rescued in a joint enterprise of the S.D. Dept. of History and the D.W.U. students and taken to the campus of Dakota Wesleyan University.
