Dear Governor Rounds:
Â
At the South Dakota Peace & Justice Center board meeting on May 10, 2008, it was decided to provide the Yankton Sioux Tribal Council, the Yankton Sioux Tribe, and the citizens of Charles Mix County with our complete support regarding their opposition to the Longview Farms hog factory. Please find attached the letter of support.
Â
As the Executive Board of the South Dakota Peace and Justice Center, we believe it is important for the citizens of South Dakota to respect the sovereign nation of the Yankton Sioux Tribe and to speak out concerning this infringement on their constitutional right to peaceful demonstration, to protect the health and well being of their family members, and to protect the air and water of their community.
Â
Executive Board Members,
Rosalie Little Thunder, President
Linda Edel, Vice-President
Susan Thompson, Secretary
Andrew L’Amour, Treasurer
Norma Wilson, At-Large
Deb McIntyre, Executive Director
