The following is the text of a December 20, 2021, press release from the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, issued after the Biden administration declined to dispute a treaty rights victory won by the tribe.
Today, the Biden Administration decided to honor the decision of the 8th Circuit Federal Court of Appeals from August 25, 2021 that our 1868 Great Sioux Nation Treaty requires the United States to provide “competent physician led-health care.”
“The Rosebud Sioux Tribe case means that our 1868 Treaty mandates Indian Health Care, and under the Federal trust responsibility our Native Peoples are entitled to competent treaty and trust based health care. Our Indian patients can no longer be ignored, the United States must provide competent physician led-health care,” said President Scott Herman, Rosebud Sioux Tribe.
