BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) _ North Dakota’s congressional delegation says more than $50,000 in federal funds for law enforcement is being made available to three Native American tribes, including one that straddles the North and South Dakota border.
The money will be used to assist with enforcement and crime prevention, including training, equipment, court programs, prosecution and drug treatment.
The grants include nearly $19,000 to Standing Rock, $17,000 to the Three Affiliated Tribes and nearly $15,000 to the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.
The Standing Rock Reservation includes tribal members in North and South Dakota.
