Good morning, Rapid City.

On the Cheyenne River Reservation in Eagle Butte, Austin Sanchez uses a local boxing club as a safe place — where he both fights and coaches — and also works in law enforcement after battling addiction, while Kodene One Skunk, a mother of seven, helps run meetings and volunteers as she rebuilds her life. Both found help at Wakpa Waste Counseling Center, with Sanchez set to mark seven years sober this December as One Skunk remains five years clean.
