Sioux Tribe Reaches Out on Internet to Raise Money to Buy Back Sacred Land

Having lost their lands two centuries ago, members of the Sioux Nation are now trying to buy back a portion of the Black Hills.

The Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the Native American blog Last Real Indians want to raise $1 million to purchase 1,943 acres that is going on sale on August 25. The land is considered sacred to the Sioux, who call it “the Center and heart of everything that is.”
