RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) A publication that will focus on American Indian arts and lifestyles will be launched today in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Native Legacy magazine will be a quarterly publication that will feature the arts and culture of Indians on the Great Plains.

Publisher Lila Mehlhaff says she wants to create a magazine that will give people a better understanding of Native America culture.

Mehlhaff says Native Legacy magazine will be a free publication and will be distributed in the Black Hills and eventually in a six-state region.

Native American actor Moses Brings Plenty, who was born on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, will be featured on the cover of the first issue.
