Comment from Yankton Sioux Treaty Committee

Summary: The Yankton Sioux Treaty Committee opposes the proposed deer hunting program at Karl E. Mundt National Wildlife Refuge, arguing that it is incompatible with the Refuge's primary purpose of providing sanctuary for bald eagles. They contend that the proposal lacks adequate environmental review, fails to account for the timing of eagle arrival, ignores the lack of a cultural resources survey, and bypasses meaningful government-to-government consultation with the Tribe.
