A little history:
The claim that the Black Hills is "disputed Sioux territory" is incorrect. The land ownership question has already been settled by the Supreme Court. The Arikara arrived by 1500 A. D., followed by the Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa and Pawnee. In the 19th century the Lakota Sioux claimed the land calling it Paha Sapa. The land was then taken by the white man from the Sioux who stole it from the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Kiowa who stole it from the Crow peoples and they from the Pawnee and Arikara or whomever held it before. Indian tribes did not truly claim "ownership" of land, but only it's use as they were generally wandering peoples. The Supreme Court decision means that title to the land stays as recorded in the various deeds in effect today. The court established a value at the time of taking and awarded damages to the tribes from the U.S. Government in that amount plus compound interest from 1876. The U.S. government has set aside a trust fund in a Bureau of Indian Affairs account of over 1 BILLION dollars and that trust fund is drawing compound interest. The tribes will not accept the court ruling and do not want to take the funds as it might extinguish future claims. It's all about the money as usual. And the longer it is drawn out, the more money their legal advisers are able to collect so I don't expect it to end anytime soon as that would kill their golden goose.

PINE RIDGE, S.D. (KEVN/KOTA TV) - The president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe faces a formal driving under the influence charge after his arrest by tribal police over the weekend. OST President Julian Bear Runner was arrested early Saturday morning.
He is charged with driving under the influence, first offense; and verbal or written assault. This information comes from Oglala Sioux Tribe Attorney General Scott James.
Mr. Bear Runner has alcohol problems. How predictable.

This is exactly why black people would never accept reparations. Without the grievance crutch they would fall flat on their face
