I spent some time at Whiteclay when I was stationed at Cheyenne Bottoms, but found myself visiting the village, itself, regularly after I had been transferred to Fort Omaha. This was before I went to Kansas City to work at a government station as an on the air radio personality. Whiteclay is infamous on the Great Plains because you've got a dry Indian Reservation (Pine Ridge) right next to this small, Northwestern Nebraska town, the merchants of which who are only too happy to sell beer to anyone, including residents of the reservation as they journey to town for whatever reasons. It makes for some number of problems, and you've definitely got free enterprise up against social values for sure. There are some who want to close down the town, or at least those businesses who sell alcohol. On what basis? Because Indians can't hold their liquor? Wow, is that an age-old stereotype! That's part of the problem.
