Small Group Calls for Janklow's Resignation
28 Aug 2003

There's still no word on when or if charges will be filed against
Congressman Bill Janklow in connection with an accident that killed a
Minnesota man in Moody County on August 16th. Meanwhile, a small
protest on the steps of the Moody County Courthouse Wednesday
afternoon hoped to send a big message to the Congressman. A small
group of Native Americans representing various groups used a mega-
phone to loudly protest Bill Janklow's name, and the fact that
charges haven't been brought against him yet.
The small protest drew a lot of attention in town as people slowed
down to hear what the protestors were saying. The group expressed
sympathy for the death of Randy Scott, and called for Janklow's
immediate resignation. Protest leader Robin Bair said "we know that
Mister Janklow killed Randolph Scott, violating traffic laws. Mr.
Janklow is not above the law."

SPIRITUAL GATHERING OF THE OYATE
Moody County Courthouse
Flandreau, South Dakota
August 27,2003
Begin to Gather at Noon, Prayers & Statements - 1:00 PM
The Dakota Lakota Nakota Human Rights Advocacy Coalition, Sicangu
Lakota Grass Roots Oyate AIM, Ihanktonwan Dakota Grass Roots Oyate
AIM, Ta Oyate Duta Justice Camp and The Eastern Dakota AIM Chapter,
Alfred Bone Shirt, Frances Zephier, Della Eastman and David Harris
wish to express the sympathy for a true patriot Randolph Scott of
Hardwick, Minnesota, whose life was tragically cut short by
Congressman Bill Janklow who blew through a stop sign, in excess of
the speed limit.
In 1967, Jancita Eagle Deer, a 15 year old Lakota girl, over whom
Congressman William Janklow was a guardian, reported to the FBI that
he forcibly raped her. The FBI report included graphic pictures of
Miss Eagle Deer and a medical examination noted bruises on her inner
thigh. Despite this, the US Attorney for South Dakota, Harold Doyle,
declined to prosecute.
Since then, Mr. Janklow has referred to the FBI report as his
vindication. But, there has never been an exhaustive analysis of the
FBI report, which offers no material evidence to exonerate Mr.
Janklow. It is clear that South Dakota was like the Deep South in the
1960s, only the civil rights revolution left behind the Lakota people.
There is not enough economic power inherent in its numbers to shut
down the nation's economy, by boycotting. We have been forced to
labor in obscurity all of these years, even with a tribal court
finding that Miss Eagle Deer's accusations were sufficiently credible
to disbar Bill Janklow from the Rosebud Sioux Tribal Court.
The Associated Press mentioned that he admitted to sexually assaulting
a Moody County girl, which led to his departure from high school.
Apparently, this does not deserve mention today by the powers-that-be.
But, in our hearts, Jancita Eagle Deer and that young girl from Moody
County shall never depart, and we intend to make our position known.
