Racist Rodeo 'Rounded Up' City's Native Americans

The Wild Horse Stampede is a big deal in Wolf Point, Montana. The oldest rodeo in the state, the annual Stampede draws thousands of equestrian enthusiasts to the town of 3,000.

But while visitors rushed into Wolf Point for the 2013 Wild Horse Stampede, some residents were allegedly pushed out. To clear the streets for 2013’s wave of horse-happy tourists, Wolf Point law enforcement led a raid on local Native Americans, illegally detaining them without charges or toilets in a makeshift outdoor jail, members of two area tribes allege in a new lawsuit.

Wolf Point locals refer to the arrests as the “Wino Round Up”. The name derives from an area slur against Native Americans.
