ACTION ALERT ✊🏽

NDN Collective has been pushing for a federal investigation into the Rapid City Police Department for over 3 years for this exact issue. This fight is bigger than just Nick Tilsen. It’s about protecting movement leaders, movement organizations, our right to free speech, and to demand justice for those harmed by colonized white supremacist systems and structures.

Nick is a devoted father, son, uncle, spiritual helper, mentor, and leader respected by his elders, the broader movement, and Indigenous Peoples’. This is his legacy - they won't define or diminish it. This is a violation of constitutional and human rights.

Nick has an evidentiary hearing on June 12 and 13, 2025 at the Pennington County Courthouse, where we aim to prove not only his innocence but the pattern of targeted attacks against Indigenous Peoples' by the Rapid City Police Department (RCPD). We need your help to ensure this hearing doesn't go to trial and to secure Nick's freedom!
Here are a few ways you can support Nick Tilsen:

1. Sign this Petition (& encourage others to sign)

2. Donate to the NDN Legal Fund

3. Call or email the Pennington County States Attorney’s office asking them to drop the charges: Phone: (605) 394-2191 OR Email: sao_all@pennco.org and larar@pennco.org

4. Share this information with a friend or on social media to bring attention to the injustices happening in South Dakota.

“Buy Native” is a movement that emphasizes the significance of supporting Indigenous businesses and artisans. By prioritizing the purchase of goods and services from Native-owned enterprises, consumers not only contribute to the revitalization of Indigenous economies but also play a crucial role in helping tribal communities acheive economic sovereignty. We must reclaim our economic autonomy, ensuring that profits stay within the communities and are reinvested in local initiatives, education, and infrastructures that sustain Indigenous livelihood.
