PLEASE SUPPORT THE CHEYENNE RIVER SIOUX TRIBAL COUNCIL
CRST voted to boycott Dale’s Sinclair after hearing of the many incidences of abuse and discrimination against CRST members by its owner, Dale Lesmeister.
Among the allegations that led to this resolution are:
*Lesmeister beat Carl Dupris so severely that he required hospitalization. Lesmeister is currently facing charges for this crime.
*Lesmeister pulled handfuls of hair from Jocelyn Chasing Hawk after she was attacked in his business. Charges are pending for this crime.
*Lesmeister forcibly took the keys from Laverna Long, 76, and forced her to walk to her home in the manor (elderly home) to get more money after she accidently over-pumped by a few cents at his station.
*Lesmeister kicked a five-year-old Lakota boy so hard that it broke the skin on the boy’s leg.
*Lesmeister has made repeated derogatory comments about CRST members and has refused to take their checks.
As Lakota people we can join together and refuse to give any more of our money to this business. We have to show this individual that he will be held accountable for his actions.
