Black Hill Logging ( 2 items ) In August of 2002, South Dakota Senator Tom Daschle passed a legislative "rider" that exempted thousands of acres of logging and many miles of road construction in the Black Hills National Forest from all laws. This "rider" was passed under the guise of "forest fire protection," but has done nothing but wreak havoc on the natural environment and sacred lands of the Black Hills. Grasslands ( 1 items ) The prairie grasslands of North America are the life and blood of many American Indian nations, they are a part of Grandmother Earth, in all Her Sacredness. Bear Butte ( 10 items ) Although plans for the shooting range near Bear Butte have been canceled, there is more to be done. Bear Butte needs permanent legal protection as a national historic site so proposals like the shooting range don't continue to threaten it.
