Dakota Life has been around for 24 years and in the past has contained a series of stories from a variety of different places.
The show’s producers have decided to do something different. They decided to take the show on the road and visit specific communities.
Since September, each episode has been dedicated to just one town and so far the show has profiled communities such as Flandreau, Mobridge, Milbank, Springfield and Murdo.
