Why the Schimmell sisters are a beacon of hope to Native youth

I drove to Pine Ridge South Dakota Tuesday for a playoff girls basketball game between St. Francis Indian School vs. Red Cloud high school. On my way to the game I passed through Batesland, which is about 25 miles from Pine Ridge. It was about 5:00 p.m. on a mild February day and as I passed through highway 18 I glanced over at the housing project and noticed about 30 kids on a slab of pavement with a couple of larger rims and some smaller ones.

It was cold, it was getting late and that little slab of concrete was heaven to some youngsters outside doing work.
