South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem cannot set foot on approximately 15% of the land in her state after four Native American tribes banned her for linking tribal leaders to Mexican drug cartels. In the past few months, Noem has come under fire for drawing a connection between tribal leaders and drug cartels on reservations and accusing Native American parents of neglecting their children.
“Our people are being used for her political gain,” Oglala Sioux Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out told The Associated Press. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairwoman Janet Alkire also said that Noem's 'wild and irresponsible' comments about tribal leaders are 'a sad reflection of her fear-based politics.' Noem has clashed with tribal leaders in the past, and it isn't the first time she's been banned from tribal lands.
