Pe S'la has been restored to the Oc'eti S'akowin (Great Sioux Nation.) On November 30, officials from the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, and Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Minnesota announced they had raised the required $9 million to purchase the nearly 2,000 acre tract of Private Land from the Reynolds family. Internet fundraising efforts from the "Last Real Indians" organization also helped in the acquisition. We thank you for your hard work.
