Yankton Sioux Tribe Wants Answers for Tasing of Tribal Elder by South Dakota Police

WAGNER, SOUTH DAKOTA – The Yankton Sioux Tribe, based in Wagner, South Dakota, is seeking answers as to why one its elders was beaten and tased by South Dakota law enforcement last weekend.

In the early morning hours of Sunday, September 17, 2017, one of the Yanton Sioiux tribal elders, Raymond Cournoyer Sr., was rushing to be at his mother’s side as she was making her journey to the spirit world. Mr. Cournoyer never made it to share her final moments.
