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.

Well, now dogs in South Dakota have a safe space.
She is so not ready for prime time.
Only on the reservations.
:-)
Is there anyone she hasn’t upset?
In the span of a few weeks, she’s gone from potential VP to a lame duck.
She’s banned from Indian reservations?
If she has evidence of drug crimes she should show us.
To the extent she supports Thune, Rounds, and/or Johnson, she needs to be taken to the woodshed.
My dog would piss upon her.
Toasted she is.
Irresponsible statement on her part.
“Only on the reservations.”
Most of those on the rez’es support the Br0nc0-Bama dog eater.
Dogs in SD have a tough life going forward.
The truth hurts, huh Geronimo?
I have reservations about her political abilities.
Where’s her proof?
Plenty of ballot cheating on the SD reservations.
Screw the reservations when it comes to the graft of pipelines passing nearby.
They are too greedy.
Sow, Reap. [It has always been thus.]
Your reservation about Noem’s comment is correct, IMO. ;-)
Much better would be to investigate quietly until you are sure you have the goods on the perps and can issue arrest warrants.
She’s just mad because the Indians won’t let their braves play on Squaw teams.
If she’s smart, she’ll pull a Gruesome Newsom and ban all state employees from all travel on hostile injun reservations.
Tough, having a governor who speaks the truth and doesn’t run from critics.
