"South Dakota Tribes Ban Governor Noem from Reservation Lands"
TL;DR
Four federally recognized Native American tribes in South Dakota have barred Governor Kristi Noem from their reservations after she made comments suggesting that Mexican drug cartels had a foothold on their lands and were committing murders. The tribes, with a combined population of nearly 50,000 people, accused Noem of stoking fears and denigrating their heritage, leading to restrictions on her access to their lands. Noem's remarks have further strained the already tense relationship between her and the tribal communities.
