The Yankton Sioux Tribe of South Dakota and the Army Corps of Engineers have agreed on a temporary plan to protect exposed human remains near Fort Randall Dam.

The Corps will cover the remains with rocks, soil, and filtering fabric. A more permanent solution still has to be reached and the tribe will work with the Corps to get Congressional authorization for it.

Like the Standing Rock Sioux, the Yankton have had to deal with re-surfacing remains that were supposed to have been moved by the Corps in the 1950s.
