Vigil to be held for Hoksila Running Bear
A vigil on what would have been Hoksila Running Bear’s 19th birthday will be held Feb. 12. Running Bear passed away in October after being hit by a train in Mandan, North Dakota. Prior to his death, he was assaulted and had been receiving threats.
In a flyer made for the event, Running Bear’s family calls for justice and answers.
The vigil will take place at 4:30 p.m., near the railroad on BisMan Avenue, where Running Bear was last seen on a security camera before his death. Brittney Rough Surface-Arnett, Running Bear’s mother, encourages people to dress for the weather and bring chairs if they would like to sit.
Anyone with questions about the event can contact Rough Surface-Arnett via email at arisangel2005@gmail.com.
