News Coverage of Frank Pommersheim Talk on Tribal-State Relations in South Dakota
Here is “Tribal-state relations improved, not healed.”
An excerpt:
Billy Mercer of Sioux Falls, who was among those attending Sunday’s forum, said the forum gave him a firm understanding of what happened during statehood at the county level.
He also took a moment to ask whether the mayor or any of the legislative candidates were attending the meeting.
He found out there were none and said that disappointed him.
“Nobody was here on the political level,” Mercer said. “They are quick to point out a park where alcoholic Native Americans are hanging out, but when you have people here who are Native American trying to discuss things, on a functional level, they’re not here. That’s discrimination.”
