Oglala Sioux Tribe Case Study

Decent Essays
I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend so far. I completely agree that there are areas of the country that can relate with this type of discussion and others have no experience with it. Do you think when smaller agencies become involve in a case that involves this type of communication they will prosper? Would you recommend a standardized training for agencies to follow for this type of ordeal? I was station in South Dakota for 6 years. There were a few tribal entities i.e. the Oglala Sioux Tribe. As you stated it wasn’t just state or federal laws, they also had tribal influence. Talking to these tribes they had a lot of similar crimes as any other city, from theft to drugs. I’ve talked to several state and local law enforcement officers

    The opening of the first "smoke shop" (offering discount, tax free tobacco products) in 1977 gave the Seminoles a stable enterprise which continues, even today, to bring substantial revenue into Tribal coffers. The opening of the Tribe's first high-stake bingo hall in Hollywood, shortly after community activist James Billie's first election as Tribal Council Chairman, was a national first.

Today, gaming is, by far, the number one economic enterprise in all of Indian Country.…

    General racism, environmental devastation, and poverty on Indian reservations makes it burdensome for many Native people to live according to their traditions. As many are simply trying to survive daily life, they do not have the energy, money, or time to be taught and teach their indigenous languages and cultures. For some Native peoples, their very survival is dependent on preserving their language and particular ways of life. While it does seem that some languages and cultures are in danger of being exclusive to history, it is a surprising fact to many that many Native groups have a very diverse original language and many cultural customs. With the supremacy of European-American cultural and economic identities, it is astounding to see the perseverance of these sustained livelihoods adapt and remain feasible in the middle of constantly-changing social change.…

They are all civilized in their own way and know how to work hard for the things that they receive. Their work and harvest skills are impeccable and would be an excellent asset to any community. Although many of the white settlers coming to Georgia wish to dispose of the Indians, it would ultimately be more beneficial for them to stay. The Indians should be able to stay and I am willing to do anything to make this a possibility.…
