USA. 2014. Pine Ridge, SD. A BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs) officer tries to resuscitate a young man who fainted in the ER after he and the individual to the left were beaten with a baseball bat. When police arrived, the man who inflicted the beating fled into the dark, though he was later caught. He was brought into the hospital and positively identified as the culprit. The unconscious man regained consciousness. Pine Ridge Reservation has a massive problem with alcoholism. Although alcohol sales are banned on the reservation, the nearby border town of Whiteclay, Nebraska has four liquor stores, which sold over 4.9 million cans of beer in 2010 to mostly Oglala Lakota from Pine Ridge. Alcoholism is estimated to affect 85 percent of the families. (source: Wikipedia).
