About Allen
Allen is a small, tight-knit community on the Pine Ridge Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. It holds a unique spot on the map as the closest populated place to North America’s continental pole of inaccessibility, the point farthest from any ocean coastline on the continent. Everyday life here is quiet and deeply connected to Oglala Lakota heritage, with the local American Horse School serving as a central hub for area families and students. For anyone looking at the region, Allen offers an exceptionally peaceful, remote setting surrounded by wide-open plains.
