This could get interesting. Maybe we'll sue the Sioux in Sioux Falls. SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Governor Noem has given two South Dakota tribes 48 hours to remove road checkpoints put in place to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The checkpoints were put in place by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and Oglala Sioux Tribe in early April. According to a press release from Governor Noem's office, the tribes did not consult with the state before installing the checkpoints. The release goes on to say that if the checkpoints are not removed in the next 48 hours, the state will take necessary legal action. Governor Noem sent letters to Chairman Harold Frazier of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and President Bear Runner of the Oglala Sioux Tribe demanding that checkpoints be removed from State and US Highways. “We are strongest when we work together; this includes our battle against COVID-19,” said Governor Noem. “I request that the tribes immediately cease interfering with or regulating traffic on US and State Highways and remove all travel checkpoints.” On April 8, 2020, the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs (DOI) issued a memorandum regarding South Dakota tribal government authority to close or restrict travel on State and US Highways. The memo makes it clear that tribes must consult with the state of South Dakota and enter into an agreement with the state before closing or restricting travel on State or US Highways. Neither consultation nor agreement among the tribal and state government occurred. Regardless, the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and the Oglala Sioux Tribe established checkpoints on State and US Highways to control and restrict non-tribal member trav Dakota News (now and then)

For the casino maybe. Pay your minimum now and save time getting to the machines. And what's wrong with that anyway, they're a sovereign nation. Just don't try it going the other way.

It’s been an ongoing thing but hasn’t made much news, must not have been much conflict. I assume they are armed. Reminiscent of the goon squads, “guardians of Oglala nation” days.

If there are any hotheads it's gonna be with the Oglala, historically so. The Sissitonai here just stare and shake their heads watching them screw up a good thing.

Oh hell I don't know. Maybe what tourists there are would enjoy being stopped by bands of Indians with guns and Kriti is trying to get the word out.

Yes, illegal to block traffic on a state hwy. If I was going through, would tell them to pound sand. They do not want people stopping, great! I do everything I can to avoid stopping when traveling through. They want to be sovereign, let them. Put up a wall and let them fend for themselves. If we could keep them in Pine Ridge, the crime stats would drop dramatically in Rapid City. Pine Ridge is one the most beautiful pieces of country in SD. Once you look past the garbage, junkyards, trashed houses, and wandering critters. BTW, the Pine Ridge president was just arrested for DUI and threatening. This is after he spouts off about sobriety.

Send in the NG, round em up, then scalp em.
Problem solved.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

We’ll give you some blankets if you’ll take down the checkpoints.

Just drop off a couple of cases of Old Grandad as a peace offering and call it good.
