SD tribe regrouping after lawsuit throw out

Posted: Updated:

A South Dakota native American tribe regroups after a federal judge dismissed the lawsuit.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe's lawsuit against 4 Nebraska beer stores and global beer makers was dismissed because the judge says it belongs in state court.

Tribal attorney tom white says he encourages leaders from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to continue with the lawsuit.

Critics say Whiteclay profits from alcoholism on the reservation where alcohol is banned.

Last year, more than 4 million cans of beer were sold in whiteclay where only 12 people live.

Tribal councilman James Toby Big Boy says he plans to introduce a tribal ballot proposal to allow alcohol.
