1. No, I don't...

I usually get them from FB where a relative who is involved with this posts updates. I will bring any news here as soon as I get it.

2. I still don't understand how you can throw beer and racial slurs at kids

and NOT be instantly escorted out of the stadium...I've been to a lot of sporting events, and seen people ejected/arrested for much less than that...

RE: The incident that took place at the Rush Hockey game Saturday January 24th 2015.
The official statement from
American Horse School Board & Superintendent

American Horse School Board has filed an official police report with the Rapid City Police Department concerning the physical and verbal abuse of their students by males in the Eagle Sales VIP Suite at the Rush Hockey Game at the Rapid City Civic Center on the 24th of January.



The incident which involved racial slurs, pouring of beer on the students, harassment and bullying the students and their AHS school staff chaperones and a parent with a 4 year old child fits the descriptors of a federal Hate Crime and will be brought to the attention of the federal authorities. The students ages 9 to 13 were on an incentive trip with the 2lst Century program, this trip was an award for academic success. The AHS Board and their legal counsel will continue to pursue legal actions necessary to bring justice to these AHS Students and Staff!



If there are any additional questions please address the undersigned!

Dr. Gloria J Coats-Kitsopoulos

We have received a couple letters of support from Rush Hockey Fans who were seated near the group from AHS. We would like to thank them for their support. If anyone would like to submit an eye witness statement or letter of support please email it to our school email listed in the upper left side of the this home page.

4. Apparently they're still not decided on filing charges!

Ridiculous - I thought I'd read that they were going to charge the creeps with assault and/or child abuse. But apparently officials are still deciding. And meanwhile, there's a lot of tension...

An unnamed suspect in the matter has reportedly come forward, and a police investigation is under way. However, the Rapid City Police Department (RCPD) has not yet decided whether or not to file criminal charges.

Since the alleged hate crime, at least three similar assaults against Native Americans in Rapid City have been reported.

On Feb. 1, two groups of Native Americans — a group of women and an elderly couple — attending a rodeo at the civic center were reportedly harassed and doused with beer. Center officials could not be reached for comment.

The following day, Native American Raven Waln reported that she was physically assaulted by an aggressive police officer after being pulled over for driving without a license or insurance.
