It is scary to go anywhere nowadays. Shooting for no reason. People who come try to have a good time in union with their Native American brothers and sisters then suddenly violence breaks out. Even I had relatives that were Cherokee, and not afraid to say that I am distantly related.

Disrespectful and disappointing. How dare you. It’s a bigger shame knowing there was a fight and that man didn’t know how to control his anger. I really hope and pray this never happens again. Ever. Prayers to the Lakota nation and their families.

I was there, my sister was dancing when this happened and it scared the shit outta me. I'm a grass dancer and I was watching my sister dance when the shots were heard and everyone starting running, she ran to me and I wrapped myself around her and ran back to the car.

This shooting is a copy cat shooting of how blacks do to each other every single day…can you say gang mind at work which is not Lakota!? Lakota youth etc talking black walking black in the black gang life/DEATH style…which is NOT Lakota! KILI plays that dark demon music more then traditional Lakota. Go figure!
