Bureau of Indian Affairs seizes Oglala citizen's cattle again

PINE RIDGE --One Oglala Lakota rancher believes that his right to due process has been undermined by the Bureau of Indian Affairs' refusal to adhere to a tribal court ruling.

Curtis Temple, a tribal citizen, landowner, and third generation rancher, has had over 250-head of cattle seized by the BIA since a May 2015 tribal court ruling that stopped was supposed to stop any further seizures of Temple's cattle.

"I have followed the law. That's all I can do. Why don't they have to follow the law," asked Temple.
