Mar 12, 2006
Focus: Indigenous Rights
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States
Newly proposed construction of a 600 acre Biker Bar / Concert Venue threatens the environment, wildlife habitat, water quality, and the freedom of religious practice of indigenous peoples!

This biker-bar-campground, that Allen originally wanted to name "Sacred Grounds," (now changed to Sturgis County Line) will have long-range implications affecting many generations to come. Bear Butte and the surrounding area is indeed sacred ground and this encroachment of sacred land must be stopped. South Dakota state lawmakers recommend a four mile buffer zone to begin at the State Park boundary to maintain the sanctity of Bear Butte. People throughout the world who are aware of this new development idea are appalled at such a venture. Let us show the world that we are sensitive to civil and human rights all year long. Let us stand together for the protection of this sacred site, as we are all responsible for our future generations. Meade Commissioners set beer license approval hearing date for Jay Allen's Sturgis County Line for Tuesday, April 4th, 2006 at 3:30 p.m. The hearing will be held in the Meade County Court House, 1425 W. Sherman St., Sturgis, SD.  Approval of alcohol permitting in Meade County is contingent on two criteria, bar location and the character of the applicant. Meade County Commissioners must deny approval of Sturgis County Line's 2006 beer license. Please sign the petition and also contact your local, tribal, state and federal legislators to express your concern regarding the growth and expansion of ambitious urban developments that endanger our protected sacred lands. Stand up and speak out for the protection of Bear Butte. http://meadecounty.org/ Meade County 1425 W. Sherman St. Sturgis, SD  57785 Meade County e-mail: meade@meadecounty.org fax # 605-347-5925 Meade County Commission; Chair &  Campground Committee member Robert Mallow PO Box 477 Black Hawk, SD 57718

Would you please sign this petition and forward to all you know. It is in defense of sacred land BEAR BUTTE.
