Another Man's Poison: Profit and Loss in White Clay� by Bill Kelly

NOTE: ...from recent AP News - American Indian activists Russell Means,
Dennis Banks and Clyde Bellecourt plan to attend a rally Saturday (June 26,
1999) at Pine Ridge to protest the investigation into the deaths of two
men, according to the organizer.

The bodies of Wilson Black Elk Jr., 40, and Ronald Hard Heart, 39, were
found June 8 in a culvert about 1 1/2 miles south of Pine Ridge near the
Nebraska border. They were reportedly last seen June 6.

It could be the first week of any month of the year when paychecks and
government support checks are cashed on the Ogallala Sioux reservation. A
lot of that money makes its way to four little stores with licenses to sell
beer. [Don Schwarting, liquor store owner] "The Ogallala Sioux people are
fun loving, humorous, good-natured people. They enjoy getting together and
having a good time or going places and having a good time. And this
involves alcohol usually." Don Schwarting knows he runs one of the most
controversial businesses in Nebraska. Public opinion doesn't much matter to
him when his customers cast their votes with dollars. [Schwarting] "There's
not anybody that's walked in here tonight that's made me the bad guy. Has
there? No, not a one. It's not because they're customers or nothing, it's
because they live here. But the guys that don't live here are making us
look like the bad guys. They don't live here and they don't work here and
don't want to." None of the customers at the Arrowhead Inn cared to share
their opinion with us that night. At the same time rush hour begins in
White Clay, Officer John of the Ogallala Sioux tribal police is coming on
duty. [John Mousseau, Pine Ridge Police Dept.] "Very seldom do we come
across an incident that isn't alcohol-related.
