TL;DR Summary

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has banned South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem from its reservation land, making it the third tribal nation to do so. The ban comes after Noem made "racially charged" comments alleging that some tribal leaders are benefiting from Mexican drug cartel activity on reservations. The tribal chairwoman criticized Noem's remarks as "irresponsible" and called for increased funding and resources for tribal law enforcement and education. Noem has been banned from about 10% of the land in the state she governs, and she has announced a law enforcement training course for the state's tribes in response.
