South Dakota Tribal Nations Unite to Ban Governor Noem

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.

Uncertainty Lingers Over Dakota Access Pipeline's Environmental Fate

Federal officials have released a draft environmental review of the Dakota Access oil pipeline, but have not made a recommendation on the future of the line's controversial river crossing in North Dakota. The review, which comes three years after a federal judge ordered it, is crucial for the reissuance of the permit. The draft presents five options, including denying the easement, removing a segment, or rerouting the pipeline. Public input and environmental analysis will be considered before a final decision is made. The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, concerned about water contamination, withdrew as a cooperating agency in the review.
