Pine Ridge, South Dakota: The crushing crowds and vehicle convoys overwhelmed the logistical support provided by the Oglala Sioux Tribal Police. The South Dakota Department of Public Safety dispatched nearly ninety percent of statewide highway patrol units to assist with crowd control, coordinating road closures and alternate routes. Portions of Highway 18 were shut down for hours. Units of the South Dakota National Guard were brought in as well. In an unprecedented move the Mount Rushmore Memorial National Monument and park was closed in recognition of this historic day and recognizing the contribution to Native American rights of political prisoner Leonard Peltier.
