RAPID CITY, South Dakota — They spoke. They sang songs, and then they walked.
They walked for two miles on a brisk, windy Saturday, carrying their tribal flags and riding their painted horses. They shouted, calling for justice and for the return of their ancestral homelands.
Eight men riding horses led the way. Behind them, a pickup truck carried two women who took turns yelling into a megaphone.
“What do we want?” the women shouted to the crowd.
“Land back!” the crowd yelled.
“When do we want it?” the women shouted.
“Now,” the crowd responded.
Leaders from Sioux tribes in South Dakota and North Dakota walked before the procession, including Cheyenne River Sioux Chairman Harold Frazier, Oglala Sioux President Kevin Killer and Rosebud Sioux President Scott Herman. Behind them, nearly 400 Natives and others carried signs that read “Indians Allowed” and “Land Back.” They wore T-shirts that read “Good NDN” and “Bad NDN.” Women in ribbon skirts pushed strollers through a section of Rapid City largely inhabited by Native people. They walked past crowds of spectators, and many of those watching joined the procession. Men war-whooped and women trilled, and spiritual leaders stopped the march occasionally to say prayers and sing ceremonial songs. Veterans carried flags, including those of tribal nations and the United Sates.
