A Native American lawmaker running for governor in South Dakota wants tribes to work with the industry to develop a meatpacking plant.

State Sen. Ron Volesky, a Democrat from Huron, said a hog and beef slaughtering plant near Sioux Falls would be a win-win for all involved. He said tribes should be encouraged to expand their economies beyond the reservation.

Volesky is a member of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
