Lakota Indians secede from U.S.
Many states talk about seceding from the United States but the Lakota Indians are actually doing it.
The Lakota Indians, who gave the world legendary warriors Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from treaties with the United States, leaders said Wednesday.
“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 Indian rights activist Russell Means told a handful of reporters and a delegation from the Bolivian embassy, gathered in a church in a run-down neighborhood of Washington for a news conference.
A delegation of Lakota leaders delivered a message to the State Department on Monday, announcing they were unilaterally withdrawing from treaties they signed with the federal government of the United States, some of them more than 150 years old.
The Lakota Indians plan to issue passports and driver licenses and say that citizens will enjoy tax-free living. I’m wondering if the doc might want to relocate to his home state of South Dakota.
Lakota Freedom Delegation website is here.
The true free state! But do they have the means to keep the feds from invading?
Wow, I repeatedly got a “bandwidth limit exceeded” error on the LFD’s website.
I’ll be very interested to see how they plan to pull this off.
Comment at reason hit and run
“does this mean that bush will wage war on them in order to preserve the union.
that would be awful. he might even suspend habeus corpus, violate the privacy of individuals, and regulate the press.
oh crap!”
Is this a spoof? I’m not kidding. I find this a little hard to believe and find it even harder to believe that what paulie makes light of would not actually happen.
I’m not making light of it.
The Lakota People have some heavy lifting here and I can assure you that Paulie recognizes the weight without referencing the Dept. of Weights and Measures.
I sooo want to move there.
Hau to you all,
Just saw this blog, and wanted to join and post, especially on this topic. We Lakota People have always done the heavy lifting where our civil, human and sovereign rights as a nation are concerned. Yes, it will be a struggle, but it has been a struggle for over 150 years. We are very perseverant, patient and strong people. We have been here as a distinct nation for a very, very long time. And we will remain long after the dishonorable ones are gone….
Just a little food for your thoughts. Pilamayeyelo (thank you) for having me.
In Spirit and friendship,

Johntwohawks,
Are you part of the movement or are you watching from another area?
I would not say that the Lakota are seceding from the United States. Why? They were never really a part of it. None of the American Indian tribes have really been accepted by the White-Eyed Government as part of the United States. So since they really weren’t a part to begin with they cannot secede. I’m a Mixed Blood Cherokee and I watching this closely. It is time for the American Indian community to unite, regardless of tribe, and take back Turtle Island.
