“Pursuant to a unanimous Oglala Sioux Tribal Council Action as of May 1, 2019, I am hereby notifying you that you are not welcome to visit our homelands, the Pine Ridge Reservation, until you rescind your support for SB 189 and SB 190 and affirm to your state and this country that First Amendment rights to free, political speech are among the truths you hold to be self-evident Your newly fabricated, unconstitutionally vague notion of “Riot Boosting” is being litigated against and will not stand. We are particularly offended that you consulted TransCanada before introducing these bills but failed to consult the Oglala Sioux Tribe, or any of the sovereign bands of the Sioux Nation, though our treaty lands would be traversed and endangered by the Keystone XL Pipeline. “
– Oglala Sioux Tribe, Letter to Gov. Kristi Noem.
“Rosebud Sioux Tribe announced it has joined three other Lakota tribes in banning South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem.
Noem’s banishment was announced through a statement from the tribal council on April 11 in response to a string of allegations made by Noem throughout the past few weeks.
The tribal council said it decided to ban Noem in solidarity with the Oglala Sioux Tribe, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.
“Governor Noem claims she wants to establish meaningful relationships with Tribes to provide solutions for systemic problems. However, her actions as Governor blatantly show otherwise,” the April 11 press release said. “Her disingenuous nature towards Native Americans to further her federal political ambitions is an attack on Tribal sovereignty that the Rosebud Sioux Tribe will not tolerate.””
