Get ready for a new kind of vacation destination. The Santee Sioux tribe is set to open first pot resort in the U.S. on its reservation in Flandreau, South Dakota, according to the AP.

RAPID CITY –– Several tribes and tribal schools in the Dakotas have filed a federal court motion to enforce a 2007 settlement agreement with the Bureau of Indian Education.

But his love of the game and desire to teach led to the development of Training with Foster, a development camp to teach Native ballpla...
