PIERRE — A bill to fund a memorial for the approximately 200 South Dakota Sioux Indian “Code Talkers” is deferred by the Senate Appropriations Committee. House Bill 1248 would funnel 700-thousand dollars for the memorial at Capitol Lake in Pierre. Senator John Wiik was curious about where the Code Talker memorial would be placed around Capitol Lake…
Haillie Getz with the Bureau of Finance and Management says no solid plan for the memorial is in place now…
Kellen Returns from Scout with the Great Plains Tribal Chairman’s Association tried to answer Wiik’s inquiry…
Action on House Bill 1248 is being deferred to a later time.
