The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe is joining six other tribes located within South Dakota in banning Gov. Kristi Noem from its reservation.
The tribe passed a resolution banning Noem from the boundaries of its reservation Tuesday morning. The move comes following comments by the Republican governor alleging tribal leaders benefit from cartel activity. During a recent town hall, Noem also said kids dont have any hope.
Chairman Peter Lengkeek said Crow Creek does not have Mexican drug cartels on their reservation. We have cartel products, like guns and drugs. But they pass over state highways getting to the reservation," Lengkeek said. "So, putting us all together like that and saying that all tribes are involved in this really shows to the ignorance of the governors office not willing to reach out and learn, and connect, with the tribes thats what that is indicative of.
Last week, the Sisseton-Wahpeton and Yankton Tribes banned Noem from their reservations. An eighth tribe may follow suit.

(2,946 posts)Who goes by the handle Lakota Man, had posted several days ago, that Kristi Dog Killer Noem (Q-Animal Abusers) had been effectively banned from 20% of her state. Wonder what that total is now. 😂
Also gotta believe that this is an absolute first. I have a hard time believing that in all of US history, any other governor (or major politician, for that matter - Civil War not included) has ever been banned from any territory within his/her own state.
