(UPI Telephoto) Sioux Tribe Leaders Demand Former Florida Black Hills Apology Issued Governor Named FORT LARAMIE, Wyo. (UPI) — Camped in a dryfield across the North Platte River from historic Fort Laramie, 150 Sioux tribal leaders said they would demand an apology if representatives of the White House and Justice Department refuse to meet with them abouttheir claim for 7.3 million acres in the South Dakota Black Hills. Anaide to Sen. George McGovern, DS.D., was the only federal representative for the opening of the session Tuesday, and a tribal leader said they would demandan apology if their other invitations were snubbed The Sioux, clad in blue jeans and cowboy hats, said they were dissatisfied with a recent court settlement of an 1868 treaty that was abrogated by Congress after Gen. George Custer discovered gold in the Black Hillsin 1877. “We're here to discuss the 1868 U.S. Hopes to More Than Double Food Aid to Nicaragua MANAGUA,Nicaragua (UPI) — The United States is making efforts to more than double the amount of emergency food aid for Nicaragua to 150 tons per day, Sen. Edward Zorinsky says. The Nebraska Democrat, who ended a three-day fact-finding trip to the Central American nation Tuesday, said Nicaraguan officials have been slow to recognize, at least publicly, that the United States has sent more emergencyaid than any other country. treaty and all of the other treaties,” said Isaac Bearshield. ‘Every damn’ one of them is broken. We must proceed to tell the United States government what heartache they have inflicted upon us.” The 1868 treaty, signed at Fort Laramie, had reserved all of South Dakota west of the Mississippi, including the Black Hills, for the Sioux. The U.S. Court of Claims recently awarded the Sioux $105 million — $17.5 million plus 5 percentinterest for each year since 1868 — for the Black Hills and $43.9 million for the rest of the land. But Sioux leaderssaid the settlement is paltry compared to the value of minerals extracted from the area, and does not take into accountthereligious and cultural importance of the Black Hills. John King Jr. of the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota said the Sioux want 7.3 million acres of federal reservelandin the Black Hills returned to them,along with half of the mineral royalty payments since 1868. But, the Black Hills represent more thanjust mineralinterestto the Sioux, King said. “It has always been of special significance. That has been where the water always runs. Indians have always camped there. That's where the animals come.” The group represents the Rosebud, Lower Bruoe and Pine Ridge.
