Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay today announced that the Crow Creek Indian Agency, now located at Fort Thompson, S. Dak., will be moved to Chamberlain, S. Dak., in the near future. While the exact date of the move has not yet been determined, it will have to be made before summer when water backed up by the Fort Randall Dam will create serious problems at the present agency site.
The decision to locate the agency, serving both the Crow Creek and Lower Brule Reservations, at Chamberlain was recommended by the Bureau of Indian Affairs after careful consideration of several alternative sites.
