Judge to hear case on Whiteclay

RUSHVILLE (AP) -- Sheridan County Judge Charles Plantz will hear arguments Sept. 22 on 
whether Whiteclay in Nebraska actually is part of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in 
South Dakota.

The reservation is just north of Whiteclay, across the South Dakota border.

The argument over jurisdiction came up Tuesday, when an attorney representing nine 
American Indian activists challenged the jurisdiction of Nebraska State Patrol 
troopers in arrests made during a march on Whiteclay in July. The men are charged with 
failing to comply with a lawful order and obstructing a police officer, both 
misdemeanors.

One of the defendants, American Indian Movement leader Russell Means, promised that 
legal experts and historians would support the contention that Whiteclay actually lies 
within the boundaries of the reservation as established by a federal treaty with the 
Oglala Sioux Tribe.

Oglala Sioux leaders on the reservation have called for shutting down Whiteclay's four 
liquor stores, which sell millions of dollars in beer each year, mainly to residents 
of the alcohol-free reservation.
