Crash report rates from tribal lands in South Dakota are generally low relative to the number of crashes estimated for those areas. This study sought to quantify the number of actual crashes on tribal lands in South Dakota for 2005, describe the barriers to better crash reporting from tribal lands, and suggest remedies. The research team visited all nine reservations and worked with law enforcement agencies to retrieve crash data for 2005 as available. A total of 737 crashes were documented in some fashion by tribal and BIA law enforcement agencies, though only 52 were reported with enough detail to be included in the South Dakota Accident Reporting System. After visiting the law enforcement offices for each reservation, the research team held a meeting with tribal and BIA law enforcement officials to discuss possible solutions. / NOTE: Rept. for Feb 06-May 07. / Supplementary Notes: See also Final Report, PB2007-112275.
