More on Pine Ridge and Planned Parenthood.
My take on it is that it's probably not a scam, I suspect Ms. Fire Thunder spoke hastily and it got publicized well before any sort of concrete plans to do anything of the sort could be made --kathrynt's post seemed to indicate that she was surprised at how quickly word had spread. Note that they don't say they're not going to build a clinic, they just didn't currently have any plans to do so at the time the letter was written. Since I mentioned the original article, I thought I'd include this as well so that people who were interested in donating for a clinic could have a more complete view of the situation before deciding whether to write a check.
Edit:vvalkyri points out a piece by cos on Daily Kos with more information. Check the comments as well.
