Pearl Jam guitarist visits Pine Ridge school

Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard made a surprise visit to the Red Cloud Indian School on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.

Gossard performed a small concert for students and played with Golden Warrior, a blues band from Pine Ridge. He urged students to plan for the future.

"You can find a path through any of the things you do," Gossard said. "Whether it be playing music or making something, find out what it is that you 'do' and go with it."

Gossard sponsored a home on the reservation through Habitat for Humanitypear. He has stayed friendly with tribal members.
