Panelists debate lawful ownership of Black Hills
The injustices of native people in regard to their freedom and property were addressed Wednesday night by the panel discussion “Who Owns the Black Hills?” After land in western South Dakota was taken from Native Americans by the U.S. government over one hundred years ago, questions over who rightfully owns the Black Hills remain today.
Violence happens at home
Vera Anderson told the 50 men, women and children who gathered at the Tompkins Alumni Center Thursday evening her story of escaping the verbal and once, physical, abuse of her ex-husband. “I always excused his abuse,” she said.
