Lakota Sioux Withdrawing from All US Treaties, Creating an Independent Nation

[Lune TNS]

I just read about this now, I don't think anything will come of it, pretty interesting though.

"On Wednesday, Dec 19th, 2007, the Lakota Sioux Nation declared themselves an INDEPENDENT COUNTRY, withdrawing from all treaties with the United States of America!

They have declared their lands which cover parts of five states an independent sovereign nation again! They are allowing people living in those areas to join their nation, and live TAX FREE!

So the revolution starts w/the fathers of this land we whites took. Blood will flow.

The Lakota been trying to grow hemp for yrs w/ATF steady invading their land and destroying thier crop. I am surprised they didnt try this long ago. Im so glad they did it while 43 is still in office. why? can you say "bang bang". Blood.

Now to get the black, mexican and other 99% of whites (tax paying poor "YOU n ME") to denounce a failed democrecy that has went tax(money)greedy.

to be affraid of ones gov is tyrany.

Now you have to wonder if G. Bush will send an army to invade Lakota lands. They have no oil, and we already stole all the good farmland and all the gold in the Black Hills. I lived next to the Fort Hall reservation in Idaho, which used to be 9 times larger than it is now. The government kept finding more good farmland that they hadn't stolen and kept violating the treaties until they had stolen everything that could be farmed. I had many friends who lived on the reservation and didn't even have running water.

moot point

 

[The_Leader]

moot point? please state your case or put up your badge #, because that was a Goverment responce if I ever heard one.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Why did it take this long? Who is really behind this?

 

[Budsmith]

This is prolly gonna be ignored by the US gov't.

 

[Connoisseur]

Everybody is going to ignore this because it doesn't mean anything. If the Lakota wanted their own nation, they should've fought harder 160 years ago.

It would be nice to think they all backed the movement but it seems to be driven by one man, activist Russell Means. The Lakota are currently bound to the Sioux tribe in both leadership and land of which Means and his other activists dont have any authority over.

.. Legally and by treaty a semi-autonomous "nation" with the United States, the Lakota Sioux are represented by elected officials comprising many separate local tribal governments scattered across the several reservations and communities in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and also in Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan in Canada.[2] The current President of the Oglala Sioux, the majority tribe of the Lakota, is John Yellowbird Steele. He was elected in 2007...

On December 20, 2007, Means publicly announced the withdrawal of the Lakota Sioux from all treaties with the United States government.[7] Means and a delegation of Lakota leaders including Phyllis Young, an organizer of Women of All Red Nations, Rapid City, South Dakota-area activist Duane Martin Sr. and Gary Rowland, a leader of the Chief Big Foot Riders, declared the Lakota a sovereign nation with property rights over thousands of square miles in South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming and Montana.[8] His authority to speak for the Sioux, let alone make policy declarations on their behalf, is not clear, as his attempts at election to the Presidency of the Oglala Sioux have thus far been unsuccessful.[9]..
