The Land Back Movement Isn’t Just Focused on Ancestral Grounds — It’s Fighting to Preserve and Restore Foodways Too | Eater
"This western South Dakota mountain range is considered sacred by area tribal nations and was historically a key hunting ground for bison, pronghorn, elk, and deer; its 19th-century seizure after gold was discovered remains a central grievance, despite an 1868 treaty that created vast Sioux reservations and a 1980 Supreme Court ruling that found the seizure illegal and awarded monetary compensation which tribal leaders refused because the land was never for sale. The site has become a powerful symbol of the Land Back movement and the broader push to restore Indigenous relationships to place, foodways, and sovereignty." - Kate Nelson
