"These are not legitimate tribal governments elected by the people ... when they begin the process of violating other people's rights, breaking the law, they're going to end up like all the other groups that have declared themselves independent — usually getting arrested and being put in jail."

Native American tribes within the USA are already technically sovereign nations, receiving foreign aid from the U.S. under the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Lakota Nation declared its sovereignty back in 2007 already. I guess they're doing it again since no one paid attention the first time.

Re: Secession! Lakota Sioux Nation Leaves The Union!
I grew up on a ranch in Nevada, about a mile from a Paiute Indian Reservation and I'm not so sure secession is going to work. Although American Indians tend to be a proud people, they've lost their self reliance and have to depend on government checks to make ends meet. Yeah, I know there are some casinos, pencil companies, timber companies, tobacco companies etc that are Indian owned but I don't thing that's going to sustain them. Charging outsiders for land & natural resource use isn't going to be enough either. The mindset of dependency would have to change.

Don't misunderstand me, I fully support what they're trying to do but secession would mean ending Federal & State dollars flowing into their coffers - assuming the Fed's would ever allow it in the first place.

The old days and the old ways are gone forever. It was a good way but it ended with the culling of the buffalo and the building of the railroad.

Not to disagree but Means is well aware of the negatives. From what I remember he has in mind something different from the old ways.
 Quoting: s. d. butler


What do you think his true aim is then? More Federal money or something else?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16269683


Means ran for president on the Libertarian ticket. From reading an article in Liberty magazine years ago. I think what he has in mind is a free country open to people who agree to the non aggression principle. I'm sure people will laugh and scoff at the idea.

But I think a country like that wouldn't be poor very long.

Re: Secession! Lakota Sioux Nation Leaves The Union!
although i would have respect for such a move, it will NEVER happen due to the fact of tribal dependency on Federal money.

perhaps 5% of the lakota would totally commit to seccession, the other 95% would not. The problem comes in when the elderly, etc need the Fed money ...and if the Lakota secede, who would provide for the needs of the tribe?

won't happen, can't happen., ...

just like the states...can't won't...they are two interdependent on the FED.

 Quoting: The Governor


If you're serious Google Dawes rolls or Five Civilized Tribes.

Most tribal leaders won't accept census information. If you have a Native American ancestor, you probably know something about them. Name, tribe, reservation, place of birth, etc. Search the list for your relative.

If you can't find it on the Dawes or FCT, find what tribe your ancestor was and check their rolls.

Once you have all the information....ancestor's full name, presence on any Indian rolls, and exact relationship to you, then you contact the tribal enrollment office.

Tribal rules vary but most tribes require 1/4 blood quantum but as said, it varies. Eastern Cherokee requires only 1/16, while the Cherokee Nation has no minimum quantum as long as you can prove descent.

Blood quantum=One full blooded grandparent gives 1/4 blood quantum. Two half blooded grandparents give 1/4 blood quantum.

To apply for tribal membership you'd need a CDIB, Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood listing your blood quantum. It's issued by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Spent my whole entire life reading. Spent 12 years teaching history and archaeology, and 10 years in major market talk radio.

Do you even know what pantheism is? The "native" American's God was the creation, where God consists of rocks, trees, and everything found in nature. The literally worshiped nature as "God".

I stand by my original statement. And would like to add an additional one.

"President Barack Obama has an unexpected foreign policy problem – in the Western United States. The Lakota Sioux nation has seceded from the United States, according to a story on the anti-American website La Voz de Aztlan.

“We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us,” long-time Native American radical leader Russell Means said. The move potentially impacts the states of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming."

First of all, we don't KNOW this is a fact.

Secondly, if you think ANY states (not NA "nations," but actual states) are going to secede, think again. There is NO WAY ANY state (corporation) is going to break off from the mothership (corporation). There are many reasons for this, the #1 being that they receive FEDERAL FUNDS that they are NOT going to give up.

True, but... That last bit is most important! They not only are receiving aid, but the feds are still largely telling them what to do (as they always have). That "sovereign" status is actually quite LIMITED. It's like a GUISE of sovereignty but isn't ACTUAL sovereignty.
