Statement:

The publication of Peter Capasella’s account of the Governor William Janklow’s and Senator Thomas Daschle’s successful theft of Sioux Nation Treaty Lands along the Missouri River must be told.

Its importance lies with the fact that extreme treachery was employed to divide the Sioux Nation and its treaty water position.

The book chronicles those efforts from its beginning to the successful transfer of our lands to the State of South Dakota.  The book will also remind tribal citizens to use every measure possible to protect our water.
