Law enforcement officials in Nebraska are proposing to share law enforcement duties in the border town of Whiteclay with the Oglala Sioux Tribe of South Dakota.

Tribal members and tribal leaders complain that the state doesn't enforce the law in Whiteclay, whose liquor establishments cater largely to an Indian clientele. With cross-deputiziation, the tribe could increase police presence in the town.

The announcement by the Nebraska officials came during a protest march from the Pine Ridge Reservation to Whiteclay. Organizers want to call attention to the unsolved deaths of two Lakota men found near the town.
