The Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota will sell its farm and ranch. Tribal officials said it wasn't making any money.
The farm started out in the 1950s as way for prisoners to work off their jail time. It eventually became a full-fledged tribal enterprise.
The tribe will sell the remaining cattle and equipment to pay off a $110,000 bank debt. The sale is expected to bring in $195,000.
