In response to v's statement " However, no tribe has declared her an "outlaw" or banned her from their lands."
Since v. likes to use Google AI, so did I.
Was Kristi Noem banned from the lands of indigenous tribes in her state?
Yes, Kristi Noem was banned from lands of many Indigenous tribes in South Dakota, with bans from seven of the nine reservations issued in 2024. The bans were a response to her comments alleging that tribal leaders were personally benefiting from drug cartels, which she made during a town hall meeting. However, these bans have been lifted as of early 2025.
Bans issued: At their peak, six of South Dakota's nine federally recognized tribes banned Governor Noem from their reservations. The tribes that issued bans include the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, Yankton Sioux, Cheyenne River Sioux, Oglala Sioux, Rosebud Sioux, and Standing Rock Sioux. The Crow Creek Sioux Tribe also issued a ban, making it seven.
Reason for bans: The bans were issued in response to public comments Noem made, such as stating that some tribal leaders were "personally benefiting" from drug cartel activity on reservations.
At the time I made the meme, she was banned from 13,000 square miles.
West of the Mississippi, we call someone like her an outlaw!
