Earlier this week Jackley said the state's investigation found the marks on Vern Traversie were the result of a skin reaction to medical grade tape.

In a letter, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe President Kevin Keckler says the tribe expresses outrage over what was apparently done to Traversie at the hospital. He says Jackley's conclusion that the scars are a side effect of surgery is wrong.

The letter calls for justice for the 69-year old Traversie and requests what it calls a "just investigation process."
