Gov. Kristi Noem spared from banishment on Sisseton, Lower Brule reservations

South Dakota governor blocked from entering Standing Rock reservation

A third South Dakota Native American reservation has voted to ban Gov. Kristi Noem in response to remarks made about tribal leadership's ties to the cartels.

But the second-term governor will still be able to visit the reservations of the Lower Brule Sioux and Sisseton Wahpeton tribes following official considerations recently.

That’s according to multiple sources who spoke with The Dakota Scout about recent votes taken by tribal governments around South Dakota regarding whether Noem should be allowed in Indian Country, following the governor’s repeated assertions that drug cartels are operating there.

The governor has already been banished from the Pine Ridge and Cheyenne River reservations.
