Economics of the Conservation Reserve Program and the wildlife it supports: A case study of upland birds in South Dakota

A pavement management system (PMS) can assist decision makers in finding optimum strategies for maintaining pavements; however, local agencies in small communities often face implementation challenges, such as a limited budget, lack of manpower and technical resources, and insufficient and inaccurate data. The available literature focuses on the general process of establishing and implementing PMS for small communities but does not discuss specific solutions in detail. Madison, South Dakota, is used as a case study in this article to discuss the issues small communities face in creating PMS, and to present practical, cost-effective solutions. The intent is to transfer and advance the knowledge surrounding the preservation of pavements and promote the use of PMS in small communities.

While the Progressive Era in U.S. history featured varied examples of individuals and organizations turning to the federal government for reform and support, major narratives have mainly left American Indian tribal communities out of the story. This essay argues that Native people actually were quite active in their reservation communities during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among other things, they held their own political councils, sent petitions to federal officials to promote their own agendas, and supported delegations to make their case in Washington, DC. This case study of activism on the Crow Creek Reservation in central South Dakota reveals numerous similarities and distinctions between Indian and non-Indian people in terms of progressive activism, while reinforcing the idea of American Indian political adaptations and cultural persistence during the Progressive Era.
