The Nebraska Liquor Control Commission on Monday fined a beer establishment in the reservation border town of Whiteclay $500 for selling liquor on credit.

The store must close or pay the fine within five days, said the commission. The violation was H&M's third in two years.

In response to concerns raised by Oglala Lakota activists and tribal officials from the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, Nebraska authorities have begun cracking down on liquor infractions in the town. Liquor establishments sell 4 million cans of beer a year mostly to Indians.
