Mr. Means. Believes that Dominique Ten Fingers, 22 is being treated unfairly because she is American Indian who "assaulted" a white woman based on race. Follow the above link to see the whole story.
He says:“I know that racism and hatred exist in the periphery of the reservation and in the border towns,” Means said.“It’s unreasonable and unconscionable.” end quote.

"...The charges against Ten Fingers stem from an incident that occurred May 15-16. The Chadron Police Department received a call to 1010 Maple Street at 11:16 p.m. May 15. Listed as an assault n second degree, the call log reflects that “someone had just thrown something thru her front window and broke it.” The log indicates the call was cleared at 1:14 a.m. May 16...“Chadron’s going to be the first,” Means said, adding that the government bodies of the U.S. need to recognize treaties made with the American Indians and ensure fair treatment for the landlords of this country.

“We own this country. We own your land,” Means said emphatically..."
