SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — The Lower Brule Sioux Tribe in South Dakota has been selected to receive a grant of $940,000 from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community of Prior Lake, Minn. The money is for economic development and community infrastructure.
According to a release, most of the grant will help fund a new convenience store near the tribal government offices and housing area. Lower Brule officials say they hope the store can open by the middle of next year.
Also Lakota Foods, owned and operated by the tribe, will get $100,000 for marketing and advertising. Lakota Foods markets popcorn and buffalo products from the 7,000-acre Lower Brule Farm.
