Excerpt from link below:

"LINCOLN, Neb. – A Lancaster County District Court judge has dismissed a City of Lincoln lawsuit against the Indian Center, Inc., and community members who are seeking to appeal plans for a housing development next to sacred ceremonial grounds.

The dismissed lawsuit aimed to prevent proceedings on an appeal of the Wilderness Crossing development plans before the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals. Indigenous community members say the development would displace religious ceremonies at a nearby historic sweat lodge.

Attorneys with Big Fire Law & Policy Group and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Nebraska argued for dismissal of the city’s lawsuit in November, saying it failed to meet basic requirements for civil litigation and amounted to an unjust attack on residents’ rights."
