Why a Dragonfly?

In Native American culture, the dragonfly symbolizes swiftness, activity and purpose, and in another, it symbolizes the messenger, the bringer of new information. In still another, the dragonfly is a symbol of change and renewal, wisdom and enlightenment. In Asian cultures, the dragonfly symbolizes transformation and change.

Democracy in Action hopes to be all those things: swift in activity, steadfast in purpose, bringing a new message to catalyze change in western South Dakota.
