One Too Many Reservation Deaths

SOUTH DAKOTA - There had been one too many deaths of Sicangu Lakotas on the Rosebud Indian reservation, located in South Central Souh Dakota. Word has it that the Rosebud Tribal Council suspended the criminal investigators only to reinstate them the next day. Families of the victims want something done.

The Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council is said to be holding a council meeting somewhere up in Rapid City, South Dakota. (Just as well, they usually meet in executive session anyway.) This is how they hide their illegal activities.

Recently a young man named Richard Herman was killed. Herman was found beat up behind a house in the community of Antelope, out side east of Mission, South Dakota. The two recent Deaths of Tahnie Haukaas 15 yrs old and 8 year old Robert Respects Nothing, considered murders, are also unsolved. Again it points to favoritism and cover up going into the Rosebud Tribal Council and Rosebud Criminal Investigation Dept., as well as, the F.B.I.

Today I got a phone call telling me that the family was told by the F.B.I. that it was a accident. We are tired of it. We are also calling for a meeting to begin to address the issues here on the Rosebud Sioux Indian reservation. The U.S. Federal Government is financing a group of "Rosebud Sioux Tribal Career Embezzlers", commonly known as the Rosebud Tribal Council and Administration.

The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, allows for tribal councils such as Rosebuds, they cannot do anything about the shoddy incompetent individuals they hire, because as council men or woman their on shoddy ground themselves.

The majority have something to hide, whether its nepotism, favoritism, violations of due process, collusion in financial theft, travel claims (bogus) and diverting of Federal Indian Service dollars, to programs they have family working for, to giving houses intended for the truly homeless to themselves.

This information is being passed onto you from the Dakota_Lakota_Nakota_Human Rights Advocacy Coalition, and the Sicangu Lakota Grass Roots Oyate.
