FYI: So, hearing from Lake Andes, SD (my dad's hometown) on the Yankton Sioux rez that things are really bad with the flooding. E coli infections & the city won't release to the tribe the status on the water and may sue the Yankton Sioux Tribe over digging a ditch. #ClimateStrike
Hearing (but not confirmed) people also are being ordered to evacuate as houses are not safe. Red Cross won't help because they need a directive from FEMA. I'm seeking a press release from the Yankton Sioux Tribe.

Also, hearing the graves at St. Phillips, the old White Swan Church are threatened. My grandmother and many of my relatives (including Ella Deloria) are buried there.
