Legislators reject tribes' resolution seeking return of some treaty lands

PIERRE—State lawmakers from both major political parties united Wednesday and rejected a resolution urging return of some lands in the Black Hills to Indian tribes who were forced onto reservations in the late 1800s.

The House State Affairs Committee voted 13-0 against the request from Rep. Shawn Bordeaux, D-Mission, who said he serves on the Rosebud Sioux Tribe's treaty council.
