8/13/2024 Lockdown

The Security Department took all necessary precautions yesterday and placed the Tribal Admin building in a full lockdown after reports of sounds similar to gunfire yesterday, August 13. The Security Department called BIA law enforcement and SRST Game & Fish in to help secure the area, and after extensive search it was determined there was no threat. A nearby transformer malfunctioning caused the reported sounds, which the electric company promptly repaired. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe thanks you for your patience during the lockdown period as tribal leadership took immediate action to protect the employees and visitors at the tribal administration building.
