Judge Roberto A. Lange has granted permissive intervention to the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and its tribal historic preservation officer, Steve Vance, over a suit filed by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem regarding a possible firework show at Mount Rushmore on July 3. The Department of Interior (DOI) denied the governor’s request to obtain a permit to conduct the show, to which Noem responded by citing that the DOI “acted arbitrarily and capriciously contrary to the Administrative Procedure Act in denying the State a permit for its planned fireworks display,” and Congress had “unconstitutionally delegated legislative power to the National Park Service.”

The Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe has moved to join a lawsuit brought by the state of South Dakota and Governor Kristi Noem that asks the court to force the National Park Service (“NPS”) to grant the state a permit to hold a July Fourth fireworks spectacle at Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills. The National Park Service’s recent denial of Noem’s permit cited the severe risk of wildfire, environmental threats, and threats to public safety and health, including risk of transmitting COVID-19. The National Park Service also cited concerns raised by tribes, including the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.
