Oglala Sioux Tribe police officers set up alcohol checkpoints outside Whiteclay, Neb., on Thursday and confiscated 52 cases of beer that were being transported to Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, according to a blockade organizer. “We had a tremendous blockade today,” said anti-alcohol activist Duane Martin Sr., whose Strongheart Civil Rights group has organized the annual event for 11 years with varying degrees of success.
