    "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. "

  11. #Blackfeet and #Lakota Prepare to Feed the People During #GovernmentShutdown

    By #BrendaNorrell, Censored News, Oct. 25, 2025

    "The #BlackfeetNation in #Montana is preparing to feed the people during the government shutdown by distributing buffalo meat and organizing an elk hunt. In #RapidCity, South Dakota, Lakota are
    organizing #MutualAid, to feed the people in a region of great need.

    "The Blackfeet Tribal Business Council said it has authorized the culling of 18 buffalo from the Blackfeet Nation herd. 'The processed meat will be distributed directly to community members to help
    sustain food access during this period of uncertainty.'

    "In Rapid City, mutual aid will soon be underway, with a planning session on Oct. 29. '#SNAP looks like it will not be issued in November. Let’s get organized,' said #WotakuyeMutualAidSociety (Meals for Relatives Rapid City COVID Response).

    "The Blackfeet Nation said, 'This proactive measure is part of a broader effort by the Council to safeguard essential food distribution programs, particularly as the future of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) remains uncertain.'

    " 'While Governor Greg Gianforte’s Office continues working to ensure SNAP benefits remain available to all Montanans, including those in Blackfeet Country, the Council’s decision reflects a commitment to meeting community needs.'

    "The Blackfeet Fish and Wildlife Department and the Blackfeet Commodity Office are coordinating an elk harvest to further supplement food distribution efforts. Processed elk meat will also be made available to community members in the coming weeks.

    "'With federal restrictions and the shutdown disrupting vital resources, the Blackfeet Nation is turning to its own natural resources and community partnerships to ensure that families continue to have access to food,' the Blackfeet Nation said."

  17. So, my friend #BrendaNorrell of #CensoredNews tried an experiment... To see what #DeepSeek had to say about #StandingRock and other stuff (versus #ChatGPT). Ironic that the country that squashed and censored #TianmenSquare would be more "truthful" about similar actions here in the #US.

    Rival Chinese and U.S. Companies Respond to Controversial Questions from #IndianCountry

    by Brenda Norrell, Censored News, Updated February 1, 2025

    "We asked the rival Chinese-owned and U.S.-backed search platforms a series of controversial questions from Indian country, on torture in #ResidentialSchools, critical injuries of #WaterProtectors at Standing Rock, bordertown #racism in #RapidCity, and federal lawsuits filed against #DebHaaland while she was Interior Secretary.

    "We asked if the #RioPuerco wash, flowing by #Navajo communities, was contaminated by the #ChurchRock #uranium spill. We also asked who were the Lakota Red Warriors.

    "Chinese-owned DeepSeek gave a more detailed description of the critical injuries that water protectors suffered at Standing Rock. China's DeepSeek included #TigerSwan in its response. Neither platform gave information on numerous federal lawsuits in the aftermath of the #resistance to the #DakotaAccessPipeline, or the upcoming trial in North Dakota District Court, #EnergyTransfer v #Greenpeace and #RedWarriorSociety."

  18. #LakotasForPalestine Attacked in #HateCrime in #RapidCity

    #Lakota Statement, via #CensoredNews, July 24, 2024

    RAPID CITY, South Dakota – "On Saturday, July 20th, we traveled to Mni Luzahan to support the International #Indigenous Youth Council for a peaceful rally for #Palestine.

    "The rally was co-sponsored by ally group #SD4Pal. Within 5 minutes of our arrival, this worker began heckling us from the lawn of City Hall, where she was working.

    "Wearing a neon t-shirt with a USIC logo, she carried a large power spray paint gun and wielded another large metal tool that she was carelessly swinging around near our youth and elders. My comrade Boyd Andrew Catt began filming her, as did I.

    "She continued to spew slurs at our youth and elders. Andy and I followed her to document anything that she might do to our group. She turned around and began indiscriminately spraying paint in Andy's face!

    "Our youth were just walking on the sidewalk nearby and were scared that they were going to be sprayed next with the chemicals.

    "The aggressor played victim for the cops of course.

    "Although my comrade was covered in orange spray paint, the cop said he didn't see it happen so what could he do?!
    He then informed me that I could make a citizen's arrest, to which I did.

    "#SaraStarkowski was cuffed and arrested. Her initial charges are Destruction of Private Property and Disorderly Conduct (Class II misdemeanor). The goal is to elevate this charge to ASSAULT!

    "Starkowski was on the clock when chose to incite violence on our #IndigenousYouth and #IndigenousElders that day. She is employed by #USIC, an Indiana-based utility line locating company who prides itself on 'safety as a core value'.

    "We hope that her employer USIC, Rapid City Mayor #JasonSalamun and Pennington County Prosecutor's office will take swift action on this type of malicious behavior against innocent citizens that are exercising their right to free assembly.

    "This small inconvenience is the least we can suffer for all of the suffering happening in Palestine."
