After dogs killed Lame Deer man, family and Tribe want action on dangerous dogs

AJ Etherington Dec 16, 2021

Avalee Little Whirlwind was at her Lame Deer home just after noon Sunday when her brother George Little Eagle showed up to tell her their Uncle Dukey had been attacked and killed by dogs.

Rage and grief filled her mind. She grabbed her .22 caliber rifle and headed for the scene of the attack on the town’s south side.

She arrived to find two Bureau of Indian Affairs law enforcement officers and a Rosebud County Sheriff’s deputy. She got out of her car with the gun case in hand, told the officers who she was and that the man dead in the street was her uncle.

Her uncle, Duke Little Whirlwind, 58, lay lifeless under a tarp. His bicycle was nearby. Blood pooled around him. Avalee took in the scene quickly, but her mind was also on the dogs.

She yelled at the officers with her cased gun in hand. She demanded to know why they had done nothing about the dogs circling in the periphery around her uncle’s lifeless body.

Have been for some time, Lame Deer isn't the only place that deals with this. I think some changes are coming to BIA.
