The Peace Garden State
Natural resources – specifically, oil extraction from the Bakken formation – have helped North Dakota in improving its economy. Because of this development, the population increased and unemployment decreased. In fact, North Dakota has the second lowest unemployment rate in the USA, next to Hawaii. The state is heavily influenced by Native American culture, with powwows (social gatherings) still held regularly. These festivities are held during spring to celebrate the beginning of new life and the end of winter.
If you are a hockey fan, then North Dakota is the place to be. Hockey is the favorite sport of the state, and fortunately, their weather is perfect for it. If you’re into hunting, even better, because the hockey raffles of North Dakota have some pretty powerful prizes!
