Companies like PLS want to undo protections for sacred sites across Turtle Island to “drill baby drill” but we’re ready and organized.
👉 Call the Forest Service at (605) 343-1567 to demand they rescind the Categorical Exclusion (CE) permit.
In 2014, 4 tribes raised $9M to purchase back Pe’sla & worked with the federal gov to get the central prayer site & a 2-mile buffer zone into federal trust. This was to recognize the religious and cultural significance of the area and therefore protect it from harmful mining activity like PLS.

🚩 LAKOTA SACRED SITE IN DANGER!! 🚩
Pete Lien & Sons (PLS) are coming to destroy our culture and our history!
This morning, February 27th, 2026, the Black Hills National Forest issued a permit to drill for graphite at sacred site Pe’sla — despite community outcry to stop the project.
“Prior to European contact, there were 30 to 60 million buffalo roaming from Oregon to New Jersey, the Arctic circle to Mexico. By the time settlers were through using buffalo for target practice, nearly all had been killed.”

“Kill every buffalo you can. Every buffalo dead is an Indian gone.”
The federal government understood the connection between Indigenous Tribes and the buffalo. Colonists, traders, & military leaders understood the life-giving connection insofar as they used it against Indigenous peoples.
“The vision is a buffalo corridor connecting the lands from Wind Cave National Park in the Black Hills, extending all the way to the Missouri River. Buffalo haven’t been permitted to roam freely. Soon they might & it will change everything" ~Foster Hogan, Buffalo Nations Coordinator, NDN Collective

“Across the U.S., Indigenous peoples are leading an ecological revolution to return buffalo to their homelands in order to heal cultural ties severed by federal policy and restore the wellbeing of ecosystems that once thrived with the buffalo.”

"They tried to prevent us from having grieving as a ceremony. And so us grieving in a public way and doing this from our hearts is, in fact, an act of resistance itself," Nick Tilsen

“We cannot merely act while holding our breath through this authoritarian escalation. We have to rest & exhale, feel the pain moving through our bodies. These are lessons that the life-sucking forces of capitalism & colonialism cannot teach.”

We will continue to honor the legacy of Rev. Jackson by fighting for economic justice, civil rights, and organizing alongside other movements as we fight the authoritarian regime we are currently facing.

While he was there he offered these words “We don’t need no pipeline, we need lifelines.” Those words remain true today as we continue to fight climate, civil, & economic injustice.

Today, NDN Collective honors the life of Reverend Jesse Jackson. As a civil rights activist throughout his life we are grateful for his leadership. Rev. Jackson showed true commitment to justice for everyone. He was often side by side with those fighting for a better world.

“Craven Canyon is truly a world-class archeological site that exists here right here in the Black Hills, and in doing this CNEC is really setting up all of humanity to be robbed of an unbelievable and wondrous part of our shared human history.”

In 2023, NDN Holdings purchased the land and began working with the Native Conservancy to transfer ownership. NDN helped Native Conservancy incubate the ECLT formation so the land would stay with the Eyak people and be protected for many generations to come.
