Trip to Santee Sioux Nation Reservation

I visited the Santee Sioux Nation Reservation for the Nation Supreme Court’s first oral argument yesterday.

Here is the court: Amanda WhiteEagle (Ho-Chunk Nation); Terri Mason Moore (Osage Nation); Andrew Adams III (Muscogee Nation); John LaVelle (Santee Sioux Nation); and me (GTB)

Sunrise at the Ohiya Casino (negative 2 degrees Fahrenheit):

Tribal Proclamation honoring the warriors executed by the United States in 1862 at Fort Snelling:

Tribal Court and other tribal buildings:

A mural honoring those who the United States forcibly moved via riverboat from the Cow Creek area to the current reservation, right there in the tribal government building. Still speechless.

And sunset at the Sioux Fall airport:
