Cleanup cost of Wounded Knee could reach millions
The 70 day Wounded Knee siege ends but cleanup costs loom. Interior solicitor Kent Frizzell estimates government expenses total 5 to 7 million dollars, mainly overtime pay and transport for negotiators and lawmen. Pine Ridge official Stan Lyman cites 240 thousand dollars to ready village homes. About 120 AIM supporters remained as surrender neared.
