The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe of South Dakota still needs more than $1 million to build a temporary dormitory to replace the one that was destroyed by a fire in April.

The Bush administration promised $1.3 million but only $900,000 would be used for the replacement dorm. The replacement will cost about $2.3 million and is needed for the fall school term.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs still thinks the dorm can be salvaged, said the school superintendent. "You should see the mold. It�s unbelievable," Scott Raue told The Sioux Falls Argus Leader. "I think you�d have to gut the whole building completely before you could even think of doing anything.�
