Whiteclay Protest
A string of peaceful protests came to an end
Sunday in Whiteclay, Nebraska with some tempers flaring. 250 Indians from Pine Ridge
marched into Whiteclay for the fourth straight day, protesting the sale of alcohol,
and the deaths of two Native Americans. Two teenage boys started throwing plastic
bottles and rocks at an officer who was stationed atop a building in Whiteclay. Other
protesters surrounded a Nebraska state patrol car yelling at police to get off their
land. One woman scribbled "Indian Killers" in the dust on the hood of the cars. The
group then left town, saying they'll keep marching "until justice is served."

Protests continue in Whiteclay American Indian activists wrapped up a four-day rally
in Whiteclay, Nebraska Sunday afternoon with little fanfare.
About 230 protesters made the now-familiar two-mile trek from Pine Ridge, South Dakota
south to Whiteclay, just across the Nebraska border. Most arrived in the small town of
22 around 3 p.m. Organizers had predicted around 100 activists to march on Whiteclay.
Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Terri Teuber says that by 4 p.m., only about 50
protesters were left in Whiteclay.
Teuber says there were no reports of violence, damage or arrests.
For more than six weeks, activists have been protesting alcohol sales to residents of
the nearby Pine Ridge Reservation, as well as the unsolved murder of two Sioux men
near the reservation.
Some activists had warned they plan to evict the village's four beer-only stores this
week if the stores do not shut down by tomorrow. Marchers posted notices on the doors
of those businesses about a month ago that said they had 30 days to close.
Organizer Tom Poor Bear said that while no rally is planned for tomorrow, activists do
intend to seek court-ordered injunctions to force the stores to close.
He did not elaborate whether those injunctions would be sought in tribal, state or
federal court.
