The Wakpa Sica Reconciliation Center in South Dakota will use $1.4 million in federal funds to continue construction of a cultural center.
Congress provided the money in the 2005 omnibus appropriations act. It is part of the $22 million needed to complete the center by 2010.
The center, held in trust for the Sioux Nation, will serve as a gathering place for tribes and as the Sioux Nation Supreme Court.
