Except it’s not “tribal elders” doing this.

It’s hate-America whites in DC.

[MeganC]

“Wheatley mentions that local tribes view the fireworks as an “adverse effect” on their traditional cultural views.”

Yet it’s safe to say that every single one of these local tribes sells fireworks on their rez.

Surround the park and light it up.

How could you forget Gas Stoves?

I remember a happier time in American when the white man and the red man could work together. It seems the great chief in Washington DC won't let that happen.

I had never read that. Why did they throw the 1st celebration on the 2nd of July?

[jjotto]

Continental Congress passed the Declaration on July 2. Published on July 4.

“Continental Congress passed the Declaration on July 2. Published on July 4.”

Kinda like Juneteenth. The Holiday is when people got the word.

[South Dakota]

Keystone has a display already.
The tribes just dont like neom

[South Dakota]

Red Cloud’s tribe..the lakota

[South Dakota]

Noem doesnt run the us park service.
You cannot just pull up and start unloading the display.
Theu carry the display up behind the monument where the hall of records is.
They shoot them off from behind the heads

[popdonnelly]

Some day, there will be a reckoning for the people who turned this country into trash.

The House stops payola to South Dakota Indian reservations.

It’s a celebration of Independence Day - and you’re asking permission from some government wanker to do so. They say “No!”

Exactly. That is the whole point of Independence Day. Not taking crap from tyrannical government officials.

"Red Cloud’s tribe..the lakota"

Yes, I know lakota were a subculture of the Siouz nation. Just mentioning my respect for the Navajo nation. I have a very personal experience with the Navajo when they invited our Run For The Wall to their capitol (Window Rock) some years back. Just outstanding proud Americans while respecting their own culture. That's the way it should be with all Americans.
