This is a wonderful trend. May all tribes exercise their discretion on their land.

Her statements about this are almost like asking someone when they quit beating their wife. Ridiculous.

If "being a mother is the hardest job" was a person.

Those are some serious allegations. Does she have any evidence aside from supposed text messages? I'm guessing no.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota recently sued for promoting a cosmetic dentistry company on social media, suffered another kick in the teeth when she was banned from a second reservation home to Indigenous people.

“This person has made a lot of accusations about the tribes, about the cartel, council representatives being in bed with the cartel, stuff like that,” Robert Walters, a Cheyenne River Sioux representative, told a tribal council meeting this week, presenting a motion to ban Noem from tribal lands over allegations about crime linked to Mexican drugs gangs.

I make a motion at this time to banish her from the Cheyenne River Reservation … I believe there has to be some kind of policy set up for her to show up at these tribal meetings.

But Noem has continued to voice such accusations, saying at one community forum in March: “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.

Posting pictures with attendees, Noem said she had “greeted” tribal leaders “in the spirit of partnership and reiterated my offer to meet and work together”.

“The cartels instigate drug addiction, murder, rape, human trafficking, and so much more in tribal communities across the nation, including in South Dakota.”


The original article contains 512 words, the summary contains 218 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
