“Creek Patrol created Camp Miniluzahan on tribal land outside of Rapid City on Sunday” read the headline in the Rapid City Journal on October 12, 2020.
The “tribal lands” spoken of here are part of the hills and forest that are the lands stolen and claimed (1880) and occupied illegally by an imposed white-man regime of invaders called Americans stretching up into the lush acres of homelands where the Sioux Nation has lived for thousands of years.
The public is told today that the site of the Creek Patrol camp is part of the 1,200 acre Rapid City Boarding School property that was owned and operated by the Department of the Interior from 1898-1933. Its title is still contested since it is the treaty lands of a sovereign tribal People.
It is, in itself, a continuation of land issue violence stemming from one of the most famous historical land theft crimes of all of Indian country, the Black Hills. (Reference: 1868-1920-1980).
