Kevin Hancock Visits Pine Ridge

In August 2013, our company president, Kevin Hancock, returned to South Dakota to see the progress on the house build that Hancock Lumber donated  earlier in the year–and, to continue his quest to learn more about modern day life on the reservation. Kevin is currently writing a book that will be published in late 2014 that follows the past and current day Oglala Sioux tribe living on Pine Ridge.
