  Uh....I did a little experiment. I took a file I have for missle silo locations and superimposed it on the approximate map of the Lakota lands given above.

  Scottfree, The fact that the Lakota nation are legally in the right isn't helping them much - 150 years has shown what US governments think of the treaties, and Gitmo and the NSA wiretapping fuss & the current attempts to let the telecoms companies off the hook show what the current administration think of the rule of law....
