The event was entirely peaceful and ended with a rally at the Rapid City Public Safety Building.
The protesters’ demands included reform in law enforcement agencies and in how schools are policed after what some said was a brutal year for the Native American community.
Protester Tom Swiftbird gave Black Hills Fox TV a verbal list of changes they’d like to see, starting with an end to the killing of indigenous people by police and the overcriminalization of protests.
