Olowan Sarah Thunder Hawk Martinez testifies in Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2016, at a hearing convened to look for ways to reduce alcohol-related problems in Whiteclay, Neb. Activists and Nebraska lawmakers were once again at odds over whether the state should stop beer sales on the border of the Pine Ridge Indian reservation where alcohol is banned. Activists implored state senators to close the four beer stores in Whiteclay, a town with a dozen residents that sold the equivalent of 3.5 million cans of beer last year near the Indian Reservation.
