Racism, genocide ongoing in South Dakota

Jim Kent sat down with Elizabeth Cook-Lynn and interviewed her for an initiative creating the First Nations Sculpture Garden.

It was ironic that a “consultation” meeting between the U.S. Forest Service and the leaders of tribes from across the state regarding proposed gold mining in the Black Hills was taking place just a few feet away. Part of the problem in creating the sculpture garden originated with Rapid City’s government and opposition from the city council. If there’s to be any hope for dealing with racism, according to Cook-Lynn, the bottom line is education. And the First Nations Sculpture Garden is a part of that.

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.
