Lower Brule Sioux Tribe celebrates new leader

LOWER BRULE—There's a new chairman in town.

About 40 Lower Brule Sioux Tribe members gathered high atop a bank of the Missouri River on Friday to celebrate the recent inauguration of Chairman Lewis Grass Rope.

Grass Rope, 38, is part of a sweeping change in the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe's administration, taking the helm after the decades-long tenure of recently deceased Michael Jandreau.
