The Rosebud Sioux Tribe announced Thursday that Kristi Noem is banned from its tribal lands, making it the fourth tribal nation to ban the South Dakota governor, South Dakota Searchlight reported.
In February, the Oglala Sioux Tribe banned Noem after she alleged during a speech to the Legislature that Mexican drug cartels had infiltrated some reservations. The Cheyenne River Sioux followed suit on April 2, after she alleged during a town hall meeting that cartels may be “personally benefiting” some tribal leaders.
