MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2001 The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota has set aside more than 20,000 acres of its reservation for a wild horse recovery project. The tribe is working with the International Society for the Protection of Mustangs and Burros on the project. Together, the two adopted 80 wild horses from the Bureau of Land Managment, an agency of the Department of Interior. Wild horses roam BLM's land, mostly in Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico. While not native to the Americas, the wild horses quickly became an integral part of Indian culture, from the Plains to the Southwest, after the Spanish brought them ashore. The BLM is planning to auction 21,000 horses this fall. Environmental groups are opposing the sale. Get the Story:
