You said — Yes, according to their treaty, the Lakota tribe have the ability to sever its ties with the United States at will.

And I think they have the strongest case of *any group* anywhere, to be able to secede from the United States, so they are a “textbook example” of how the U.S. will *keep states from seceding*...

Just watch them and what they can do and can’t do, and you’ll get the idea of what you can do as a “state”, too...

That’s why I say that everyone who supports *secession* — should be supporting the Republic of Lakotah and seeing that they *do get their own country* — in order to have the “groundwork” laid down for the individual states to do it...

The Lakota tribe cannot secede from the United States because they were never a State. It is a recognized sovereign Nation with a treaty. Like any other contract, treaties can be terminated.
