Yesterday #DakotaMidday held a forum on criminal justice in South Dakota — fifteen years after the US Commission on Civil Rights held hearings in the Black Hills. Those hearings culminated in the Commission’s report “Native Americans in South Dakota: An Erosion of Confidence in the Justice System.” Brendan Johnson, U.S. Attorney for South Dakota; Elsie Meeks, founder of the Lakota Fund on Pine Ridge, a former member of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights and currently the state director for USDA Rural Development; Melaine Stoneman, a Sicangu Lakota who helped organized the Rapid City rally and march last week; and Ken James, a Santee Sioux and former Rapid City police officer and Flandreau police chief joined the discussion.
