Description
It appears the riot involved relates back to a brawl outside a bar in Buffalo Gap, South Dakota, on January 21, 1973. During the brawl, Wesley Bad Heart Bull, one of defendants sons, was stabbed to death by Darrell Schmitz, a white man. The states attorney of Custer County charged Schmitz with the crime of second degree manslaughter. Several members of the Indian community, including Sarah Bad Heart Bull, thought Schmitz should have been charged with murder. This incident apparently became a "cause celebre" of the American Indian Movement which called for a national Indian Civil Rights Day to be held in Custer, South Dakota, on February 6, 1973.
