Kristi Noem banned from all South Dakota tribal nations
Washington Examiner ^ | May 23, 2024 | Annabella Rosciglione

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) has been banned from all nine of South Dakota’s tribal nations.

On Tuesday, the final tribe that had not yet banned her, the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, voted in favor of banning Noem from its reservation. Flandreau President Tony Reider called an emergency meeting in response to some of the governor’s comments.

“President Reider informed the governor that a ban from our territories is imminent and requested that the Governor refrain from making future blanket statements that offend the tribes within the boundaries of the State of South Dakota, some of which depend on state services for the needs of their people,” according to the readout from the meeting provided to CNN. “It was recommended that the Governor clarify her statements and issue an apology to all tribal nations for the misunderstanding.

“Until such a time, the Executive Council and the people of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe stand with our fellow nations,” the readout continued.

Other tribes previously barred Noem due to offensive comments she made about South Dakota reservations. The governor has repeatedly claimed tribal nations work with Mexican drug cartels.

“We’ve got some tribal leaders that I believe are personally benefiting from the cartels being there, and that’s why they attack me every day,” Noem said in March.

Noem is now banned from nearly 20% of South Dakota over her remarks. Still, she has refused to back down from them. As recently as last week, she was talking about the alleged link.

I’ll have to add Indian sympathizers to the rest of the over crowded bus of misplaced sympathies caused by political convenience.

LOL!

I'm sure that Gauleiter Garland and his thugs at the Deportment of Jesters might have something to say about their little Res darlings getting indicted...

I’m sure you’ve noticed that Garland and his crew are pretty shy about going after their political enemies...

That kind of overreaction pretty much proves Noem was right about the tribes working the cartels. Not really surprising.

She did tank her political career with the dog story in her book though. That was poor judgement by putting that in it.

I do know ranch life is very different than city or even rural life. Feral dogs get shot because they will go after the cattle in terrible ways like chewing their ears and nose off because they are not wild animals. They don’t know what to do instinctively to survive in the wild so they do what they can. No winners in this kind of thing. I blame the idiot humans who dump their dogs and drive off expecting the dog to figure it out. Those people are the true evil scumbags.

Then don't use weasel words, like "I Believe", either you know it's true or not.

That's fine. Withhold any state funds from the Tribes as they are showing their independence They are sovereign nations after all.

My cat would poop in her mailbox as a matter of principle even though she doesn’t like dogs.

She goofed on the doggie report in her book, that might follow her for quite a while. However is it possible she's got a point on the reservations?

I don't know, I need more info before I form an opinion.

One just needs to read the news. It has been going on for decades.

The border tribes smuggle it across and the gangsters drive it from route to route through reservations.

there’s a reason why we have such a drug problem in the US and its because govt and non govt entities are looking the other way, or actually participating in the drug trade....

“Most of those on the rez’es support the Br0nc0-Bama dog eater.

Dogs in SD have a tough life going forward.”

My wife is NA. She’s said a few times the Sioux are dog-eaters.

Having worked law enforcement on several reservations.

There is plenty of drug crime and other crime.

The tribal leader are in on it of just trying to make political hay.
