Activists are planning another blockade to prevent the flow of beer into the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota.

The reservation is dry so residents head to Whiteclay, Nebraska, to buy liquor. Four stores in the small town sell about 4 million cans of beer every year.

The Strong Heart Civil Rights Movement and Nebraskans for Peace have set up blockades for the past three years. The legality of the blockades has been questioned by the Oglala Sioux Tribe, though some leaders say they support the activists.
