Five out of the nine Native American tribes in South Dakota have made the decision to ban Republican Governor Kristi Noem from their reservations. This ban covers approximately 17% of the state’s land mass. The tribes have taken this action in response to Noem’s claims that certain tribal leaders are involved with drug cartels, among other controversial remarks.
On May 7, the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate tribe in the northeast part of the state became the fifth tribe to refuse Governor Noem entry.
