The 1868 Fort Laramie Treaty promised the Black Hills for the Sioux Nation’s exclusive use. However, after gold was discovered, miners entered the region and the U.S. government took control. The Supreme Court later ruled that the taking required fair compensation, including more than a century of interest.

hi, the Pe'sla sacred site is under attack: open for mining exploration.

here is a petition you can sign to STOP this from happening. It is extremely important for drinking water too. Many people and ecosystems depend on it.

PROTECT SACRED SITE PE’SLA

Sign this petition to protect sacred site Pe'Sla: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/add-your-name-protect-sacred-site-pesla

or text "SAVEPESLA" to 50302

Call the Forest Service at [phone] to demand they rescind the permit for Pe’sla drilling and the decision to grant a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for their exploratory drilling permit. They have no right to violate our rights, declare Indigenous culture an acceptable loss, cut us out of the process, or endanger the drinking water of thousands of people and Ellsworth Airforce Base. Call the US Forest Service and tell them to leave Pe’sla alone!!

Bit of recon today before an upcoming trip. Snowed off and on all day… heavy fog at times. The eat was pretty steady. Took this new Winston Air II 9’6 5wt out for a spin… fantastic fly rod. The responsiveness in retrieve was top shelf.. hook sets precise. Super practical rod for dry dropper rigs, multi nymph indicator rigs, and light/med streamers. The feel in the play of the fish is everything you’d expect out of a Winston. We’re so excited to get going for the year. To those on the books we thank you… to those looking to fish, we welcome you. Good fishing y’all! #flyfishing #catchandrelease #tailfinn #finnprovisions #browntrout #winstonrods #abelreels #southdakota #blackhills #goodfishing https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRlWhUtMt1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
