A man serving prison time for confessing to the rape and murder of an indigenous South Dakota woman has been freed from prison.

Nicholas A. Scherr of Mobridge, South Dakota was released in 2019. He is now in his fifties, but when he he was sixteen he and fifteen-year-old cousin James E. Stroh II, met indigenous girl Candace Rough Surface at a nightclub for teens.

Scherr brought the girl to his place, before she demanded to be taken home after refusing his advances. He agreed to drive her, bringing Stroh with him. But he didn't bring her home. He and Stroh both raped her before Scherr shot her five times, before Scherr took the gun and did the same, killing her. He and Stroh then stole her money and dumped her body near the Missouri River. Scherr pleaded guilty and was granted parole, after serving 23 years of his sentence.

At the time of the murder, Candace Rough Surface, known by family and friends as Candi, had a two-year-old son at the time, Homer Eagle Rough Surface. She was from the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota and had dropped out of school in her sophomore year after giving birth to her son, fathered by another teenager from Standing Rock Lakota. Her body would be found 9 months after she went missing, but her murder would remain unsolved for almost 16 years before Stroh's ex-mother-in-law reported to police what he had shared. Stroh was then living in Eagle River, Wisconsin.

Scherr and Stroh met her at a now defunct bar in Mobridge called Joker's Wild. Candi was the youngest of 8 children and lived in a small home on the reservation with her family and son.

Nicholas Scherr was a white boy from a well-to-do family from the small, mostly white town of Mobridge.

"There's always been tension between whites and Indians around here," said Becky Rice, an 18-year-old white woman.

Because Nick Scherr was a white boy from one of Mobridge's most well-known families - the Scherr name adorns the city's sports arena, it's social centerpiece - most Indians believed Scherr wouldn't be found guilty because he is white and well connected, while Candi was a poor Sioux girl living on the reservation.

Candi's badly decomposed body was found in a bed of mud and twigs in a Missouri River inlet in May 1981, after she had been missing for nine months. She had five bullet holes in her head and back.

"She was petrified; she was whimpering," Stroh testified at a preliminary hearing.

In a plea agreement Stroh, who was then 30, implicated Scherr as the instigator of a night of partying that ended with gunshot echoing across an isolated pasture. Stroh was charged with manslaughter, even though he admitted to taking part in raping and shooting Candi after Scherr.

"She was just an Indian," said Candi's niece, Polly. "Her life didn't count as much."

White and Indians did attend school together though. They gambled together at reservation casinos. They sometimes even married one another. Candi's older sister, Clara, was married to a white man. Members of the Scherr and Rough Surface family attended the same Roman Catholic church. Candi knew of Scherr, likely thinking he was safe.

In a move that angered many Indians at the time, more than 100 people signed a petition seeking to lower Scherr's bond of $200,000.

Even the Scherr-Howe arena was dragged into the case. The building was renamed in 1990 in honor of an Indian artist, Oscar Howe, whose murals line the walls, and Scherr's older twin brothers, Jim and Bill Scherr, who were members of the United States wrestling team in the 1988 Summer Olympic Games.

A newspaper article in 1994 said about Mobridge:

"The main bridge over the Missouri River here stretches nearly a mile before it connects this overwhelmingly white farming town of 4,200 people to the Standing Rock Indian Reservation, where Sitting Bull is buried on a bluff and the vast prarie dips and rolls into the horizon.

It is also a bridge across time. Mobridge, a working-class city where the best stores and most of the jobs are, is on the eastern side of the river, and sets its clocks by central time. On the western side, where unemployment exceeds 60 percent and the mud after a thaw is ankle deep around the tiny houses scattered across the 900,000-acre reservation, people officially function in mountain time, one hour behind.

Indeed, these reluctant neighbors have rarely been in sync; stubborn prejudice and bloody history have seen to that here as in other parts of the country, especially where reservations abut predominantly white residential areas."

Sitting Bull

Sitting Bull (Tatanka Iyotanka, l. c. 1837-1890) was a Hunkpapa Sioux holy man, warrior, leader, and symbol of traditional Sioux values and resistance to the United States' expansionist policies. He is among the best-known Native American chiefs of the 19th century and remains as famous today as he was when he led his people.

He is widely known for his part in the Battle of the Little Bighorn in June 1876 and his later celebrity as a performer in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, but, for the Sioux, Sitting Bull is celebrated as the embodiment of the four cardinal virtues of his people: courage, fortitude, generosity, and wisdom. He is also recognized for his refusal to abandon the traditions of his people and his efforts to preserve their culture. Although famous as a holy man, prophet, war chief, and hunter, Sitting Bull was also a poet and composer, as well-known among his people for his rapport with wild animals and herbal knowledge as for his leadership.

He was killed while resisting arrest at the Standing Rock Agency Reservation in South Dakota on 15 December 1890 and was buried at Fort Yates in North Dakota. His remains were exhumed by family members in the 1950s and interred at Mobridge, South Dakota, near where he was thought to have been born. Debate continues over whether these remains are those of Sitting Bull, and historians also offer differing views on his legacy. His reputation as a great leader of his people, however, is unchallenged as he continues to be recognized as a symbol of Native American pride, honor, and traditional values, as well as for his stand against injustice.

Youth & Name

Little is known of Sitting Bull's life before the age of 14. His date of birth, given as 1831, 1832, 1834, or 1837, is debated, as was his birthplace until fairly recently. He is now understood to have been born on the Yellowstone River (known to the Sioux as Elk River) in modern-day Montana and was named Jumping Badger (Hoka Psice). He quickly earned the nickname Slow (Hunkesni), owing, according to scholar Robert. M. Utley, to "his willful and deliberate ways" (6). His father was Chief Sitting Bull of the Hunkpapa Sioux, and his mother was Her-Holy-Door from a respectable Hunkpapa family. He had two sisters and a half-brother but would later adopt others as his brothers, and these are sometimes mistakenly referenced as biological siblings.

Chief Sitting Bull taught his son to ride, hunt, and shoot expertly before the boy was ten years old. Young Slow was an excellent shot with bow and arrow and became so closely associated with horses that his peers joked how he even walked as though he were on horseback. When he was 14, he joined a war party against the Crow and "counted coup" against a Crow warrior, knocking him from his horse where he was then killed by another of the party. For this act of courage – defeating an enemy without killing him – Chief Sitting Bull gave his name to his son and assumed the name Jumping Bull. "Sitting Bull" – Tatanka Iyotanka (literally "Buffalo Who Sits Down") – fit the youth's personality as, "according to fellow tribesmen, suggested an animal possessed of great endurance, his build much admired by the people, and when brought to bay, planted immovably on his haunches to fight on to the death" (Utley, 15).

Later acquaintances and writers would claim the name was given him due to his stubbornness or, according to Sioux writer and physician Charles A. Eastman, that he was given the name after forcing a buffalo calf to sit down. The name was actually given in accordance with the tradition whereby a father passed his own name to his son when the boy was recognized as attaining manhood.

Between the ages of 14 and 20, Sitting Bull led his own war parties, and his name became famous among his enemies as a formidable warrior. Utley describes him at around the age of 20:

A heavy, muscular frame, a big chest, and a large head, he impressed people as short and stocky, although he stood only two inches under six feet. His dark hair, often braided on one side with otter fur and allowed to hang loose on the other, reached his shoulders. A severe part over the center of the scalp glistened with a heavy streak of crimson paint. A low forehead surmounted piercing eyes, a flat nose, and thin lips. Although dexterous afoot and superbly agile mounted, he appeared to some as awkward and even clumsy. (19-20)

Around 1857, in a clash with an Assiniboine band, Sitting Bull spared a 13-year-old boy whom he later adopted as a younger brother. When Sitting Bull's father was killed in battle with the Crow in 1859, the boy took the name Jumping Bull and would remain by Sitting Bull's side for the rest of his life.

I don’t think people realize just how unpopulated most of the Great Plains actually are. There’s a 115 mile stretch between Bismarck, North Dakota and Mobridge, South Dakota where you literally cannot cross the Missouri River. There’s really only three cities of any size on I-94 through the entire state of North Dakota. Everything else you pass has a gas station and <1000 people. It’s the best.

#thenatureofrefuge the voter suppression thats happening in ND made me think of these photos that i captured a couple months ago on the Standing Rock reservation in SD and a little town right on its border called Mobridge. the Sitting Bull Memorial is located on beautiful isolated hill behind the casino overlooking the lake and feels wild quiet. nearby Mobridge is a sanitized whitewash of americana and the town boasts a statue of a cowboy riding a fish. Sitting Bull has his self created mythology and so does the wild west cowboy culture, but this is the First People’s land and we stole it and continue to disrespect and steal and undermine native americans in this country. its their country and we took it. let the people vote #sanctuary #refuge #sittingbull #mobridge #votersuppression #atrocity #firstpeople #theft #women #stories #photography #landscapes #travel #thankyou (at Sitting Bull Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo6w9ptF4Ta/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14vu2ma4do3w9

Renting satellite phones can be an efficient and safe option for events. Read this

Are you looking forward to any event that concerns high security or are you someone who is planning to visit a location that barely has any cellular coverage? Under such conditions, carrying satellite phones can be a great option as satellite phones have great connectivity and the network never lets you down even in the worse situations.

Satellite phones are a great way to connect with people under locations that do not fall under the service coverage of famous cellular operators but, the technology is still quite expensive and therefore, if temporary usage is to be fulfilled, the best way is to use Iridium satellite rentals.

Average cost of a satellite phone

With the average cost of a satellite phone reaching over $400, it can be difficult to justify the purchase. However, there are a number of reasons to consider a satellite phone. First, satellite phones are often the only option in remote areas without cell service. Second, satellite phones are perfect for people who are frequently on the go, as they don't rely on a traditional network. Finally, satellite phones are great for emergencies, as they offer a high degree of privacy and can be used anywhere in the world.

Why are satellite phones better than cellular phones?

There are a few reasons why a satellite phone may be a better choice than a typical cell phone. For one, satellite phones don't rely on cell phone service to work, meaning that they can work even if there's no cell phone signal available. Additionally, satellite phones typically have better reception and higher quality than typical cell phones.

Where to get the best satellite phone rentals?

Looking for high quality satellite phone rentals? The best and the most efficient deals can be grabbed only at Wireless Air Card. Get all network and connectivity related solutions like car connectivity systems (mobridge for BMW) and other connection modems at affordable rates.

South Dakota cops say To Hell with our Constitution and our First Amendment and illegally arrest a man for giving them the finger.

Yeah, maybe the guy giving the finger is an asshole, sure, but it is still protected speech.

Cops are the Government and the Government should and cannot be imprisoning us because they don’t like our speech, even giving them the finger.

This is a shameful arrest by Triggered cops. Cops don’t like the Constitution, go move somewhere else.

THIS is also why we have the www.aclu.org, to protest these rights
