I think it's horrible that once again Native Americans have to put up with more crap the state of South Dakota dishes out. Anything to keep the original people down. This farm is just another way to force themselves upon us and OUR land.

This hog operation has a lot of potential to pollute the environment and affect the health of the tribal people who live nearby. It is a travesty that these communities are having to suffer the consequences of big business when they offer nothing of benefit to the Yankton Sioux.

I love this quote I do not think the measure of a civilization is how tall its buildings of concrete are, But rather how well its people have learned to relate to their environment and fellow man. Sun Bear of the Chippewa Tribe

Enough is enough! Isn't it way over the top in the way the U.S. has taken land, minerals, etc from Indian nations? Now you want to take away the clean air on the Rez! My ancestors who lived on this land would not recognize it today. It is beyond sad. It is criminal what corporations are doing to Indian Country - just like they are doing in Iraq.

I think the hog farm company should take their confinement plan to Iowa where they're actually from

Native people are to be commended for speaking up for things that effect the future generations and the natural world. When will we learn that this is the way to live on earth? What will we tell our children?

Land can not be destroyed for profit. It is cruel, it is unfair, it is unjust. How dare corporations try to silence the people through money and bribes. Corporations hiring political cheerleaders, who were were elected to protect the people, but who instead disregard the best interest of the community out of their own personal greed. Despicable.

Stop taking advantage of the Sioux and all Native tribes! How much does this government want to use and abuse these proud people?Keep the promises made and stop using Native Americans.I am ashamed at how this country treats our Native people!

As a fifth grade teacher who teaches young people the importance of the Constitution, I am appalled by the actions of the state government of South Dakota and its illegal activities against the Yankton people. The well documented environmental abuses that CAFO's are responsible for, and the blatant disregard for the citizens who are forced to live within sight and smell of such places, are reason enough for disallowance of a building permit. This CAFO should not be allowed to establish itself. It will be to the detriment of every individual and community around it.
