Here's a sample, which I thought sounded different from Francis' speech. http://www.ku.edu/~idea/northamerica/usa/southdakota/southdakota1.mp3

I think that South Dakota has many different accents. There's a part of it that has a Midwestern sounding accent, and another part of it that has a Western sounding accent. I know about 3 people from SD and 1 had the Midwestern sounding one, it almost sounded like a Chicago accent or something. The other two had rather unremarkable accents that sounded pretty much the same as a California accent.
