The Pine Ridge Tribal Civil Court stakeholders identified an informal process of integration, however the level is contingent upon each stakeholder. All stakeholders expressed a desire for full integration. The challenges of integrating the peacemaking process included: stakeholder accountability, authority, and the lack of cultural awareness, critical to full integration.
