| Description | The Oglala Sioux Tribal Council unanimously decided that Gov. Kristi Noem is no longer welcome on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
The council approved on Wednesday that Noem is not to set foot on the reservation unless she rescinds support for her two bills aimed at Keystone XL pipeline protesters that would codify "riot boosting" in state law and allow the state to sue any person or organization for "riot boosting." Noem announced the bills during the final week of this year's session and the Legislature passed them within 72 hours.
The Oglala Sioux Tribe was "particularly offended" that Noem consulted with TransCanada prior to introducing the new bills, but didn't consult with any of the Sioux tribes whose land would be "traversed and endangered" by the Keystone XL pipeline. The land that "big oil" seeks to enter is the tribe's lands and waters, Oglala Sioux President Julian Bear Runner wrote in a letter to Noem. |
