| Description | SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - American Indian activist Russell Means has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to stop the Oglala Sioux Tribe from swearing in the woman who beat him for the tribal presidency.
Means contends Cecelia Fire Thunder should never have been a candidate because she doesn't live within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, as is required.
Fire Thunder, a nurse who beat Means in the Nov. 2 election, lives in Bennett County, which shares its north and west borders with Pine Ridge. She said last month she considers the county within the boundaries of the reservation.
