John Glover, a Native American studies associate professor at Black Hills State University, has published a handbook describing tribal governments in South Dakota.

"Tribal Sovereigns of South Dakota. A Description of Contemporary Sioux Governments" is being called the first book of its kind. Each chapter describes the structure, origins and operations of the nine tribal governments. The book also includes a section on tribal history and their political development.

Glover hopes the book will become known as the "Red Book" for its bright red cover.
