https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...be-governor-reservation-kristi-noem.htmlFurious South Dakota tribe BANISHES Governor Kristi Noem from its reservation after she said she wanted to send razor wire and troops to the southern borderA South Dakota tribe has banned Governor Kristi Noem from going near its lands after the remarks she made about the ever-growing crisis at the US-Mexico border.
Republican Noem, 52, was 'banished' from the Pine Ridge Reservation after she said she wanted to send razor wire and security personnel to Texas to help deter migrants crossing into the US.
The tribe's President Frank Star Comes Out said on Friday: 'Due to the safety of the Oyate, effective immediately, you are hereby Banished from the homelands of the Oglala Sioux Tribe!'
He accused Noem of using the border crisis to help get Trump get re-elected.
Speaking about the migrants coming into the US, Star Comes Out said: 'They don't need to be put in cages, separated from their children like during the Trump Administration, or be cut up by razor wire furnished by, of all places, South Dakota.'
Noem said on Wednesday that a 'gang' calling itself the Ghost Dancers is murdering people on the Pine Ridge Reservation. But the leader took deep offense to this.
The Gov. previously said: 'Murders are being committed by cartel members on the Pine Ridge reservation and in Rapid City, and a gang called the 'Ghost Dancers' are affiliated with these cartels.
'They have been successful in recruiting tribal members to join their criminal activity.'
However, the tribal leader said Ghost Dance is one of the Oglala Sioux's 'most sacred ceremonies,' in their community - and he said her reference to this 'was used with blatant disrespect and is insulting to our Oyate.'
Oyate is a word for people or nation.
Star made clear in this scathing message to Noem that the Oglala Sioux tribe is a 'sovereign nation that is neither a Democrat nor Republican tribe.'
In response to the ban, Noem said: 'In my first year serving as Governor, I repeatedly visited Pine Ridge to work on relationships between the State of South Dakota and the Oglala Sioux Tribe.
'It is unfortunate that President Sar 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.
'I have been working for years to build relationships with our tribes.
