Spirit Lake Nation regains 680 acres from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
The U.S. government has returned 680 acres of land to North Dakota's Spirit Lake Nation, ending a 65-year effort to reclaim lands deemed "submarginal" and previously used for hay production to support buffalo at White Horse Hill National Game Preserve.
Chairperson Lonna Jackson-Street called the return a "significant step towards healing and reconciliation," emphasizing its importance for the tribe's history, culture, and future.
