MANDERSON, S.D. - Their home was destroyed by an electrical fire in December of 2007, but Alex and Debra White Plume haven't skipped a beat in their activities both close to home and abroad.
The former Oglala Lakota Nation president has been tapped by a biofuels company to travel to Africa where he said he will be able to accomplish some of the goals he had set for his tiyospaye on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
"I am finally getting to do what I wanted to do here on the reservation, but I have to leave this country in order to do that," White Plume said in a phone interview the week of Feb. 18.
"In spite of obstacles, White Plumes carry on"
