Richard Two Bulls.

Richard Two Bulls, Content Producer

Richard has spent most of the last decade reporting for KOTA and KEVN in Rapid City. Born in Rapid City, and an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, Richard has covered a variety of topics directly related to Native Americans. One story he is proud of is a narrative on the Native American Arts and Crafts Act, about the importance of buying authentically made arts and crafts from artists whose primary income is from their work. Richard is also very passionate about telling stories that preserve the Lakota culture and art, including stories about full immersion Lakota language preschool programs.

Richard has covered a variety of news in Rapid City and the surrounding areas. Richard says, “Rapid City is a unique place to report in because it has a little bit of everything – from crime and accidents, wildland and structure fires, extreme winter and summer weather and of course the many great people that live there and do many great things in the community.” In 2019, Richard and a co-worker were awarded an Eric Sevareid Award from the Midwest Broadcast Journalist Association for Investigative Small Market Television Award of Merit for a piece called “Sold for Sex: Trapped By Fear.”

Due to his father’s law enforcement career with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Richard was raised on a variety of different reservations throughout the United States. He spent time in the Navy as a Mass Communication Specialist. “I fell in love with journalism when I joined the Navy,” says Richard.

“I always enjoyed SDPB because it has a variety of information,” says Richard.”Also, some of the best TV shows were on SDPB – like the Red Green Show.”

Richard, his fiancée Sarana and their 6-year-old son James proudly call the Black Hills their home.
