Oglala Sioux Tribal President Bryan Brewer will have surgery tomorrow to repair a broken pelvis suffered in a one-vehicle accident last month on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

He also suffered broken ribs in the December 29th accident as he drove in the Red Tail Shirt area.

Brewer spent most of a week at Rapid City Regional Hospital, then was transferred to its rehabilitation unit late last week.

The 65-year old former educator elected president in November was expected to be released next week, but spokeswoman Toni Red Cloud says that’s been pushed back indefinitely to allow time for Brewer to recover.
