"Led once again by Oglala Sioux Tribal President, Bryan Brewer, the non-violent protestors marched into Whiteclay and served the Nebraska State Patrol and local county Sheriff Terry Robbins with a copy of a resolution from Traditional Headsman Floyd Hand of the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council which sites the 1851/1868 Ft. Laramie Treaties, an active, legally-binding agreement between the United States of America and the Great Sioux Nation. Within this agreement, a 10-mile buffer zone on the exterior boundaries of the reservation was established, in which no liquor was to be sold. The State of Nebraska, with the assistance of the U.S. government, has ignored the buffer-zone clause. The Oglala Lakota Sioux believe that the liquor is a form of modern-day genocide, perpetuated by greedy profiteers in Whiteclay."
