Members of the Yankton Sioux Tribe who had blocked the road to the construction site of a controversial large-scale hog farm near Wagner this morning dismantled their roadblock at the request of a tribal official.
A group of a couple dozen people had pulled vehicles onto the road about a half mile north of the site miles west of Wagner.
But tribal Vice Chairman John Stone later got the people to move off the road, telling them that if they didn’t, they risk being arrested.
Stone said the tribe can’t block the road until it gets documentation from the Bureau of Indian Affairs showing that it’s a tribal road, not a county road.
“We need time to get the documents,” he said.
