NOVEMBER 8, 2000 In response to a lawsuit filed by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, the Army Corps of Engineers has been ordered to maintain temporarily the water levels at Lake Oahe. The temporary restraining order has forced the Corps to alter their operations on dams along the Missouri River. It was issued to ensure that no more burials are exposed at Lake Oahe. A date for a trial on the lawsuit has not yet been set. The lawsuit was filed in response to resurfacing burial sites at the Lake. The Corps was supposed to move the remains in the 1950s but appears to have never done so. Get the Story:
