Six of the nine Native American tribes in South Dakota have voted to ban Republican Gov. Kristi Noem from their reservations – the equivalent of 20% of the state's land mass – in opposition to her assertion that some tribal leaders are benefiting from drug cartels along with other comments.
Two groups, the Yankton Sioux Tribe in southeastern South Dakota, and the Sisseton-Wahpeton Ovate tribe in the northeast part of the state, last week became the latest to deny Noem entry.
In banning Noem, the Yankton Sioux Tribe Business and Claims Committee cited her comments about drug cartels and Native American children, who "don't have any hope" because of absentee parents.
