RAPID CITY, S.D. — A leader of a Rapid City-based indigenous rights advocacy organization who was arrested during a protest near Mount Rushmore on Friday, July 3, has been released from jail after posting bail, according to court documents.
Nick Tilsen, CEO of the NDN Collective, posted a $2,000 cash bond on Monday, July 6, after being held in custody at the Pennington County Jail in Rapid City.
Tilsen, 38, is facing one count of second degree robbery for allegedly taking personal property from a law enforcement officer. The felony charge carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
Tilsen is also facing additional charges, including simple assault, impeding highway, unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct.
Law enforcement officers arrested about 15 people at a blockade site on U.S. Highway 16A on Friday evening, after an hours-long standoff with law enforcement and National Guard troops.
Those arrested were part of a protest against a visit to the memorial by President Donald Trump, as well as racial injustice and the theft of the Black Hills from Indigenous peoples who once called it home and still consider it a sacred place.

I’m sure some Soros front group paid his bail.
That bag of hot air
Looks like they’ll save money on their food budget.
Most Protesters say they’ll starve themselves.
Then you have this FAT PIG.
He wanted to be arrested... Wish granted.
Dont drop the soap two dogs screwing.
He needs more cheeseburgers.
Robbing a COP - the stupid are punished. Doubt this prosecutor will drop the charges.
Someone should tell the fat Indian that THEIR side lost the Indian Wars.
He wants money? Have pow wows, charge the white people whatever the market will bear to watch them, make trinkets and sell them to the crowds, maybe even get a casino license.
50 dollars and time served.
Up to and including murder as long as it is linked to burn loot and murder.
No hunger strike for that one.
“ He wants money? Have pow wows, charge the white people whatever the market will bear to watch them, make trinkets and sell them to the crowds, maybe even get a casino license.”
Or do something useful like go into some Stem field and contribute to human knowledge. Maybe build the fIrst Mars colony or something. Nobody is stopping them, on the contrary free rides will pile on, and they will b accepted with a 2.0.
I think its time to progress beyond casinos, fire and cheap beads and trinkets
Nick Tilsen may be looking forward to the weight watchers collective at the local federal pen.
You say that, but who's going to be laughing when Gorsuch turns Mount Rushmore over to them?
I’m with you! America is on that road of no return!

LOL. Gorsuch does seem to have an Indian fetish.
If there were to happen we would see a shooting war in South Dakota.
Pork Chop here needs to lay off the biscuits and gravy...
Looks mighty white to me.
