The Sisseton-Wahpeton tribal council voted unanimously Tuesday to ban Noem from coming onto the Lake Traverse Reservation, joining a spate of others that opted to do so earlier this year.
Speaking to The Dakota Scout, tribal president J Garret Renville said they heard overwhelming support for the proposal from constituents.
