\"\"<\/a>RAPID CITY \u2013 Soo San Drive, a road in West Rapid City which was previously associated with the Rapid City Indian Boarding School, has been renamed to Sioux San Drive by the Rapid City Council in a 9-1 vote. The issue was met with little discussion and the only dissenting vote was from Councilman Bill Evans.<\/p>\n

In a comment submitted to the Rapid City Council before the session, Councilman Ritchie Nordstrom provided a synopsis of the history of Soo San Drive and claimed that the original legal name for the road was Sioux Sanatorium Drive. \u201cIn the official land deeds from the United States government gifting the lands to various recipients, the road is always called \u201cSioux Sanatorium Drive\u201d in the official legal description,\u201d his comments read. \u201cA review of the original documents would lead one to believe that \u201cSioux Sanatorium Drive\u201d was the official name of the road, and \u2018Soo San\u2019 was a short hand used by the plat map makers that became adopted by the City over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Councilman Evans provided the only verbal comments about the resolution during the meeting. \u201cFor me, to actually rename something from one name into another that is derogatory doesn\u2019t necessarily make any sense,\u201d Evans said while reference the term \u201cSioux\u201d which is a derivation of an Ojibwe term meaning \u201clittle snakes\u201d. \u201cThe reality is that I think time could be better spent on something like saving the main building at the Sioux Sanatorium which is slated for destruction in about two and a half to three years,\u201d he finished.<\/p>\n

The decision to rename Soo San Drive comes briefly after a resolution to begin the process of amending three outstanding land deeds associated with the Rapid City Indian Boarding School passed 9-1.<\/p>\n
