<p>Censored News</p><p>The Oglala Lakota Nation has drafted a letter to
ask the Black Hills Forest Service to withdraw a decision notice on a
gold exploration project. Lakotas said the Forest Service has failed to
comply with the law.</p><p>“The Black Hills are sacred to our people,”
the Oglala Lakota Nation said. “We know them as ‘the heart of everything
that is.’ The Forest Service has failed to comply with the law and has
failed to consider the environmental and cultural impacts of the Project
under the National Environmental Policy Act.”</p><p>The Jenny Gulch
Gold Exploration Project is a year-long drilling project planned near
Silver City, South Dakota, in search of gold.</p><p>In July, the Forest
Service issued a decision notice providing the public with 45 days to
object to the project.
