"South Dakota Oglala Sioux Tribe caught up in $60 million scam -- Charges against Jason Galanis and six others were announced by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan. Defense lawyers did not immediately comment…Prosecutors said Galanis and others lied to an entity of the Oglala Sioux Tribe from March 2014 through April about how proceeds from its bonds would be invested. They said the dealings occurred with the Wakpamni Lake Community Corp., an economic development corporation arm of the Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation."
Source: The Associated Press, May 13, 2016 Community members who think they are smart; know everything and disregard others are often taken advantage of. (Itantan shkan). I was informed (Omakiyaka pi) on Monday, September 5th, that the Wakpamni District still has $1 million in their account and that recently, the school children all received up to $30 for their back-to-school needs - echoh'chikel (at least). And that, this $30 came out of the interest of that $1 million. Remember, there are six (Shakpe) communities (Wichoti) in Wakpamni District, although, I was told that one of them is trying to igluh'laye (break away / secede) from the district. Ohan (Okay / Alright). I want to thank my community members for opening your doors and visiting with me. Until next week, Happy Trails!
