The fight isn't over to #ProtectTheSacred!
"#NDNCollective, a Rapid City-based nonprofit that advocates for #IndigenousRights, is among the lawsuit plaintiffs.
" 'From the #LandDefenders who occupied two active drill pads for a week, to fighting in the courts through multiple lawsuits and a temporary restraining order, today’s win is multi-faceted and offers a blueprint for future #LandDefense fights,' NDN said Friday in a press release.
"Future fights include one scheduled for the week of May 18. The state Board of Minerals and Environment is scheduled to conduct a hearing in Hot Springs on a proposal to conduct exploratory drilling for #uranium in the southern #BlackHills.
"That project would be near #CravenCanyon, where the rock walls are carved with Native American petroglyphs believed to be thousands of years old."

Victory for #Lakota Youths Protecting Sacred #PeSla
Company withdraws from controversial Black Hills exploratory drilling project
"We stopped the drilling, this is a victory for the #OcetiSakowin," Lakota youths said as the drilling rig drove out of #SacredLand.
By Seth Tupper, May 8, 2026 via @bsnorrell.blogspot.com
"A company that’s being sued for exploratory drilling near a culturally significant site in South Dakota’s Black Hills is withdrawing from the project, according to a letter shared with project opponents.
"The opponents include the Black Hills Clean Water Alliance, which posted a copy of the letter and a statement Friday on social media.
" 'This is a testament to the people, organizations, and tribal governments who showed unified action, determination, and courage in the face of what seemed to be overwhelming odds,' the alliance said.
"The letter from Pete Lien & Sons to the U.S. Forest Service references the #RapidCity-based company’s project near Pe’ Sla, also known as #ReynoldsPrairie, which is a high mountain meadow in the central #BlackHills. "

"Lakota youth have locked down onto the drilling equipment at Pe’ Sla. An alter has been set up and community members have offered prayers. The drilling company said that law enforcement is on the way.
