Members and leaders of the Crow Creek Sioux
Tribe of South Dakota are staging a protest on the land that the Internal Revenue Service auctioned off last week.
Chairman Brandon Sazue said he will stay on the land and fast as long as possible. "It's going to last for however long I go until I drop," he told The Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
The IRS auctioned 7,100 acres of land owned by the tribe to pay $3.1 million in back employment taxes. The land won't be transferred until a lawsuit that the tribe filed gets resolved.
