A South Dakota Indigenous tribe banished Republican Gov. Kristi Noem from setting foot on its land in protest of her administration mulling plans to dispatch resources to Texas to bolster border security.
Oglala Sioux Tribal President Frank Star blasted Noem for publicly musing about sending razor wire and personnel to the border, suggesting she was jockeying for the vice presidency.
“Due to the safety of the Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the Oglala Sioux Tribe!” Star declared last Friday, using “Oyate,” a word that means nation.
Star, who noted the Oglala Sioux is a “sovereign nation that is neither a Democrat nor Republican tribe,” underscored that many of the migrants pouring across the southern border are Indigenous people looking for “jobs and a better life.”
“[They] don’t deserve to be dehumanized and mistreated by people like Governor [Abbott] and his cohorts,” he said.
Noem had addressed state lawmakers last Wednesday in which she said that the US is facing an “invasion” and warned that the Mexican drug cartels are “waging war against our nation.”
The 52-year-old Republican shrugged off Star’s banishment and admonishment of her.
“It is unfortunate that President (Star) Comes Out chose to bring politics into a discussion regarding the effects of our federal government’s failure to enforce federal laws at the southern border and on tribal lands,” she said in a statement.

So can we assume the Oglala Sioux Tribe will take in a few thousand (or more) “migrants”?
Bus the illegal immigrants to Sioux tribe.
Someone should let the chief know the Sioux aren’t native to SD. His ancestors came down from Canada a few thousand years ago.

Which, like most if not all other tribes, consistently contributes heavily to the democrats and consistently votes Democrat. Who are they fooling?
Let’m walk.
If anyone knows what happens to nations that have open borders, it oughta be the native Americans….
YOU SAY- -
“underscored that many of the migrants pouring across the southern border are Indigenous people looking for “jobs and a better life.”
OK . . . NAME ONE!
Bus the illegal immigrants to Sioux tribe.

especially those invaders who are from African tribes.
I wonder what they get per head to allow illegals to pass through their reserve?
FRank Star is a little lose inthe noggin. Noewm can visit anytime she wants.
Franks gonna gave to lump it.
WHy not surround his “nation” with razor wire so he cannot aid and abet illegals? I make my point.
Star, who noted the Oglala Sioux is a “sovereign nation that is neither a Democrat nor Republican tribe,” underscored that many of the migrants pouring across the southern border are Indigenous people looking for “jobs and a better life.”
Kinda gives new meaning to the word “indigenous”.
By his definition, the Pilgrims and everyone that came to North America since are indigenous.
If they are a “sovereign” nation, how do they get to vote in “our” elections?
Themselves.
indigenous to this hemisphere, I suppose, ... but those migrants looking for a better life that came from the earth's other hemisphere in the 19th century can all get the hell out?
Hmm, does this mean he's racist?
Post of the day! Thank you.
Soon we'll be hearing about her 'affair' with a Trump staff member (of which there's no proof)
Then we'll start hearing about her 'mistakes' and interviews from disgruntled constituents
Look for the book 'The 'True' Kristi Noem' full of nothing but innuendos but promises to unveil the evil side of Noem!
“… are Indigenous people looking for “jobs and a better life.”
All those Muslims, Chinese and Spanish-speaking people…yeah, sure.
Casino worker, ie maids, bus boys, etc
If only Custer wouldn’t have split his forces up and brought the gatlin guns.
