McMILLIAN, Circuit Judge,
dissenting, with whom
ARNOLD, Circuit Judge, joins.
I must respectfully dissent. For the reasons discussed in my dissenting opinion in United States v. Dupris, 612 F.2d 319, 323 (8th Cir. 1979), vacated and remanded, 446 U.S. 980, 100 S.Ct. 2959, 64 L.Ed.2d 836 (1980), I would hold that the 1908 statute diminished the boundaries of the Cheyenne River Reservation. I continue to believe that the analysis in United States v. Long Elk, 565 F.2d 1032 (8th Cir. 1977), and United States ex rel. Condon v. Erickson, 478 F.2d 684 (8th Cir. 1973), requires modification in light of Rosebud Sioux Tribe v. Kneip, 430 U.S. 584, 97 S.Ct. 1361, 51 L.Ed.2d 660 (1977), and DeCoteau v. District County Court, 420 U.S. 425, 95 S.Ct. 1082, 43 L.Ed.2d 300 (1974).
