Lower Brule Sioux tribal flag
Michael Jandreau says he’s watched too many of his people die of alcohol-related problems.
So Jandreau, chairman of the Lower Brule Sioux tribe, and his tribal council have banned alcohol sales on their reservation in central South Dakota, according to this Rapid City Journal story.
The downside has been a marked drop in business in the tribe’s Golden Buffalo Resort and Casino. C’mon, it’s possible to gamble sober. And, probably advisable!
