"We have talked with the legal team," Hall told the Journal Tuesday. "Sometimes these things work out, sometimes they don't."

Hall said Jegeris expressed concern that the rally could grow beyond anyone's control after an announcement was posted on Facebook by the United Urban Warrior Society, a local organization headed by James Swan.

Hall stressed that his group is not affiliated with the United Urban Warrior Society.

Hall said the rally is intended to empower Native Americans and to bring attention to the need for improved race relations in Rapid City. He also invited Jegeris to speak at the rally.

The next generation of Native American youth need to know to know that they can have a voice, Hall said.

The confusion over sponsorship of the event is one of Jegeris' concerns. It makes it difficult to know who is in charge, he said. He is willing, however, to see if there is a solution.

"We are willing to work with Mr. Hall to accommodate his request," Jegeris said.

Jegeris has invited Hall to meet with him this week to see if another location and time can be agreed upon for the event. A meeting time has not yet been set.
