A group of protesters left La Framboise Island in Pierre this
week, heading for Washington. South Dakota Congressman John Thune says
the group will be welcome in the nation's capitol. But Thune says he doubts
the trip will change many minds. The Native American group is protesting
the transfer of 200,000 acres of Missouri River shoreline from the federal
government to the state. Thune says the group hasn't scheduled any meetings
with him, but he would meet with them if he's asked. Some of the protesters
have been camping on La Framboise Island in the Missouri River since March
to protest the land transfer.
