Comment from Yankton Sioux Tribe

Summary: The Yankton Sioux Tribe (Ihanktonwan Nation) expresses support for the proposed expansion of archery-only deer hunting at the Karl E. Mundt National Wildlife Refuge, provided there is no significant impact to the area. They request an ongoing consultation process with the Fish and Wildlife Service and South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks to address future concerns and ensure their cultural and spiritual connections to the land are respected.
