Plans for a proposed shooting range near the sacred vision-questing site know as Bear Butte in South Dakota have been dropped in the face of strong opposition by native activists. Charmaine White Face, coordinator for the Defenders of the Black Hills, said prayers and a lot of hard work led the developers to abandon the controversial proposal: “Thank you to all of you for your prayers, support, and encouragement. This could not have been accomplished without all of us working together.”
