All of South Dakota's sovereign Indigenous nations have banned the state's governor from their territories — why it matters inside the Mt. Rushmore state, and beyond

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD) has been banned from all nine of South Dakota’s tribal nations. On Tuesday, the final tribe that had not yet banned her, the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, voted in favor of banning Noem from its reservation.

All nine tribal nations of South Dakota have officially banned the state’s Republican governor (and puppy murderer) Kristi Noem from their lands.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is now banned from entering nearly 20% of her state after two more tribes banished her this week over comments she made.

A seventh Native American tribe in South Dakota has banned Gov. Kristi Noem from its reservation for comments she made earlier this year alleging tribal leaders benefit from drug cartels.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has not banned the sale of red watermelon slices, seen as a symbol of Palestinian solidarity by some, contrary to posts shared online with a fabricated quote or a miscaptioned video.

For Noem, "every state is now a border state" including her own where she says some tribal leaders are benefiting from drug cartel activity.

Noem’s comments about the cartels specifically led to her banishment in February from the Oglala Sioux reservation; her latest ban came from the Flandreau Santee Sioux. She’s now banned from roughly one-fifth of her state’s total land mass.

The governor's favorability based on personal popularity was 39%, down 13 points from a similar poll conducted in October 2020.
