Chasm widening between South Dakota, tribes

Racism is a way of life in South Dakota where the Legislature is a hate group.

Troy Heinert, D-Mission, said the changes potentially affect about 30 percent of tribal members who live in South Dakota. “To me as an Indian sitting here, it looks like we’re saving the state a bunch of money on our backs, again,” Heinert said.

Wild Horses of Red Rock

After consulting with the Horse Shelter and an equine veterinarian Donnamarie and Larry have decided that the best way to protect ten free-roaming horses is to keep them in their care. Forage is scarce and the only water available is from wells on their property so the four mares that will foal very soon will be safe, well cared for and as wild as possible. About fifteen acres is fenced with horse-safe wire but the gate is always open so the herd can come and go as they please. The couple has been buying hay and so far that is working but the three stallions need to be gelded and that is expensive so we're asking you to pony up to help defray the cost.
