History of mistrust, laser focus on tribes blunts attempts to address public safety in Indian Country
Five tribes from around South Dakota and the National Forest Service signed a Memorandum to have the tribes be more active in telling the story and history of their culture at Pactola Lake.
Dakota News Now reached out to the leaders invited to Gov. Noem's Tribal Public Safety Crisis Summit in Pierre next month to see who plans to attend the June 24 summit.
On May 17, Noem held a press conference to address her banishment from eight of the nine reservations in South Dakota.
Noem talked down to Native American parents in the state, and falsely accused tribes of harboring Mexican cartels.
