White Plume said the organization’s funding probably influenced the re-enactors’ decision to continue. He fears the expedition will now create divisions between “traditional” and “colonized” Indians as it travels through other reservations.

The division was evident Monday when Duane Big Eagle, Crow Creek tribal chairman, said he disapproved of White Plume’s actions and planned to welcome the re-enactors to Crow Creek.

“We’re living in modern times,” Big Eagle said. “We’ve got to think modern and moving ahead, not living 150 to 200 years ago.” 2004 The Daily Republic 120 South Lawler P.O. Box 1288 Mitchell, SD. 57301
