Chief Richard Grass is the person who spoke for the L.D.N. Nation in rejecting the 1980 Supreme Court Ruling that offered $40 million in exchange for 40 million acres of the sacred Black Hills. Chief Richard Grass' family dynasty has been involved in drafting and signing ALL the treaties.  His Great Grandfather, Chief John Grass, (as a sovereign - king-) went to the Battle of the Little Bighorn to protect his land and people from the deceptive and exploitive policies of the U.S. Government.  They won the Battle of the Little Bighorn, thus retaining legally under International Law the lands addressed by the Louisiana Purchase.
