There was a thread about the Lakota Indians breaking away from the U.S., but it has long since been posted on, so I'm making a new one.

The Lakota Nation has since updated their website, and is now called the Republic of Lakotah

Here is a map of the country's territory:

And here is a statement issued on the 1st:
Republic of Lakotah

P.O. Box 99
Porcupine, SD 57772

Notice to All Foreign Governments and Private Owners of Real Estate within the Republic of Lakotah


TO:

The United States of America;

The States of: Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska;

The County and Municipal Governments Operating within the Republic of Lakotah; and All Private Owners of Real Estate within the Republic of Lakotah

Lakotah, through its government, have appointed representatives to withdraw from all the treaties with the United States of America.

Lakotah, through such representatives, have formally withdrawn from all agreements and treaties with the United States of America. The reinstitution of our freedom and independence is found in law.

Lakotah has reclaimed sovereignty as a nation and over its traditional lands.

Despite many years of repeated bad faith on the part of the United States government towards the Lakotah People, the Lakotah hold no animosity toward the American people, most of whom have had no part in the actions of their government. We wish to deal with the American people in good faith and in a win-win manner.

While we have the right to impose liens on all of the real estate in our country, we prefer to come to resolutions with you all with out resorting to such measures. Accordingly, at this time, we are only declaring liens on real estate held by governments foreign to the Republic of Lakotah, but not on real estate held by private parties.

The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties substantiate this freedom.



Lakotah welcomes the opportunity to meet and discuss this matter. We are in the process of scheduling meetings and will issue public invitations. Should you desire input with regard to scheduling these meetings, please contact us at the above.



Russell Means, Chief Facilitator
Provisional Government
Republic of Lakotah


Glad to see they're making some headway.

    Mt Rushmore was built to hide Cibola, the city of gold. Didnt you see the new National Treasure movie, silly ?

    Mount Rushmore is built into the Black Hills, which are held to be sacred by the Indians. They should demolish the carvings. Maybe carve the faces of Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Black Elk, and Big Foot there instead.

    I am wondering how this whole new nation thing is going to work. I mean are they going to issue their own passports and currency? Are they going to make trade agreements with other countries, since surely their nation can't be entirely self supporting? Where are they going to get things like cars and computers that can't be made on their land?

    i'm declaring my independence from insanity.

    it will be kind of funny when the Feds swarm in and arrest everybody for treason.

    It's not treason since the US government broke the treaties first; the Lakotah have every right to do what they are doing.

    You are right; however, I think Russel Means may be the only member for the Lakota Republic at this time.
