Abstract

This Interim Planning and Recommendation Report describes the significance and potential benefits of the Wakpa Sica Historical Society’s Reconciliation Place Project in its endeavor to facilitate the establishment of a Great Sioux Nation Supreme Court. The report emphasizes that the vision of establishing such a Court has existed among the Sioux tribes of South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska for generations and that the project’s legitimacy and ultimate success depend on its ability to continue fostering the tribes’ endorsement of and participation in the Court’s development and implementation.
