Today is the first day that no more beer can be sold in liquor stores in Whiteclay, Nebraska. The four stores provide about 3.5 million cans of beer a year, mainly to a dry Pine Ridge Reservation, a walking distance away from the town of Whiteclay, and a community that suffers from alcoholism and a high rate of fetal alcohol syndrome.
