As the storm raged, families ran out of fuel, and two people froze to death, including one in their home, the Rosebud Sioux Tribe said in a letter this month seeking a presidential disaster declaration.

Honor Beauvais in 6th grade at Sapa Un Catholic Academy, St. Francis, S.D. Beauvais died last month as a snow battered the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota after an ambulance couldnt get to him in time. He was asthmatic and had influenza.

“We were all just in shock,” said Cordier-Beauvais, who recalled that when the snow finally cleared enough to hold the funeral, the family gave out toys to other children as a symbol of how he played with his siblings. “He loved giving them toys.” Noem, who is seen as a potential contender for the 2024 White House, declared an emergency on Dec. 22 to respond to the winter storm and activated the state’s National Guard to haul firewood to the tribe.

Starting on Dec. 18, soon after the blizzard moved out, there were 11 straight days with sub-zero temperatures. Wind chills were dangerous, hitting -51 degrees Fahrenheit at their lowest. The length and severity of the cold made it one of the worst such stretches on record, Lamers said.40 lives in western New York

“I don’t want to totally dog out the system, but we kind of got left to our own devices," said Bordeaux, who is a frequent critic of the governor. “She basically left us hanging." One of them, his 54-year-old cousin, Anthony DuBray, froze to death outside, his body found after Christmas.
