OST VP faces impeachment hearing

OST Vice President Darla Black

PINE RIDGE — The Vice President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Darla Black, is facing an impeachment hearing later this month after she was accused of creating a hostile work environment. The hearing is set for November 25 at the Prairie Wind Casino.
Three former employees of Darla Black say she was verbally abusive, texted them late at night and made them run errands that were not related to work.
Black has declined to comment on the accusations until her hearing. Black will be ousted if two-thirds of the 21-member tribal council agrees to impeach her. The hearing comes after the majority of council members recently voted to suspend Black with pay after receiving complaints from the three former employees.
The former employees said Black “demeaned and verbally abused them on a regular basis.”
Tribal President Julian Bear Runner said the hearings are open to the public.
