The president of a South Dakota-based Native American tribe says it will be an “act of war” if Congress authorizes construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
“We are outraged by the lack of intergovernmental cooperation,” Rosebud Sioux Tribe President Cyril Scott said in a statement.
“We are a sovereign nation and we are not being treated as such,” Scott said in response to Friday’s House vote to approve the project. “We will close our reservation borders to Keystone XL. Authorizing Keystone XL is an act of war against our people.”...

My friend went to Alaska and visited an Indian Family. The family had checks piled up. Said they only cashed them once a year. Amounted to thousands of dollars.
(said around 2:00)
No...
Did they forget how it turned out the last time we played Cowboys and Indians?
This 'protest' is timed to coincide with today's Senate vote.
Orilly? Says Gingis Khan? Is that what warriors need to do nowadays—ask nicely? Check your handle, please. The Indians would be surprised, too. This tribal bureaucrat's opinion is an outlier from an outliar. Real Indians admire courage, force, and cheap gasoline like everyone else.
Who ya gonna call?
Even in that little part, it could go around if needed. Regardless, how about we lock them out from the jobs it will create there too?
They’re good with bottle openers...
They must endeavor to persevere ...
Years ago I visitied Canyon De Chelly National park. It is completely surrounded by an indian res and thus there is no alcohol allowed in that park, which is the only National Park in America with that odd and morally repugnant rule. We just poured out cocktails in diferent cups; problem solved.
Anyway, we got the cut-rate tour (highly illegal also), and at the end our tour, our guides asked us to give them a lift to their grandma's house. We said yes (again, illegal: indians are not allowed to hitch rides with white people for some reason, and when we passed a tribal cop they ducked down in the truck bed!)
Anyway, we finally got to grandma's house, and along with all the other litter and filth and auto parts polluting the area, there were many, many spray cans.
We thought that they were paint, but I got a closer look and they were all PAM cooking spray and Aquanet!
So yeah, you are completely correct.
Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud make-um very much wampum.
sounds like a trip through a 3rd world craphole.
Better let that go. Eugenics is Democratic dogma.
As for tank train disasters, Quebec already went through this with the Lac Megantic derailment.
Wonder why you said “Israel” first?
II think they just want to get paid off so the elders can build larger mansions and the ordinary Indians can get drunker and have more kids with fetal alcohol syndrome, which is PURE EVIL.
The Ogallala Aquifer might be a legitimate issue, which I think has been resolved. Nevertheless, it is an important and delicate issue.
From wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogallala_Aquifer:
“About 27 percent of the irrigated land in the United States overlies the aquifer, which yields about 30 percent of the ground water used for irrigation in the United States. … The aquifer system supplies drinking water to 82 percent of the 2.3 million people (1990 census) who live within the boundaries of the High Plains study area.[5]” Good maps at that link.
This has been hashed and rehashed for years by politicians and everyone else. Wikipedia has a separate section on “Environmental Impact of Keystone:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystone_Pipeline#Environmental_issues
So that brings us down to deliberate sabotage of the pipeline. I don’t think the Sioux would sabotage the pipeline to spill oil into the aquifer, but ISIS idiots would….and how about the Somali Muslims moving to nearby Cheyenne? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3228137/posts
And the rest of Obola’s illegals who hate the USA? I suspect that some company will make a huge amount of money guarding the pipeline during the building process and forever after.
Oh, the opportunities for graft and corruption.
Sorry, but in almost every way that might matter, you are not a sovereign nation. The best case you could probably make is a vassal state.
I would posit that the 3rd world would be an improvement for those folks.
These are people who were gifted brand new mobile homes to live in and the first thing they did was bust a big hole in the ceilings, so as to allow the smoke from the fire to escape (the fire rings were built in the enter of the living room).
Also, nearly every child required eyeglasses, and I was told it was mass congenitial birth defects due to the boozing and, I assume, the PAM/Aquanet huffing.
