Benjamin Reifel, the first Lakota Sioux elected to Congress, was born today in 1906 on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Reifel served in World War II and worked in the Interior Department before going to Harvard, where he earned a Ph.D. in public administration. Reifel represented the state's first district in Congress from 1961-1971. He helped bring the EROS Data Center to South Dakota and fought to keep Ellsworth Air Force Base active. Reifel died in 1990 from cancer.
