Not sure if you guys have seen this yet. It is a few weeks old. Here is an excerpt but there is a lot of good information on the site.
Also An archive of an interview of the Lakotah spokesman Russell means can be found on www.freetalklive.com

I for one am wholeheartedly behind this but I expect to be in the minority.

We as the freedom loving Lakotah People are the predecessor sovereign of Dakota Territory as evidenced by the Treaties with the United States Government, including, but not limited to, the Treaty of 1851 and the Treaty of 1868 at Fort Laramie.

Lakotah, formally and unilaterally withdraws from all agreements and treaties imposed by the United States Government on the Lakotah People.

Lakotah , and the population therein, have waited for at least 155 years for the United States of America to adhere to the provisions of the above referenced treaties. The continuing violations of these treaties’ terms have resulted in the near annihilation of our people physically, spiritually, and culturally. Lakotah rejects United States Termination By Appropriation policy from 1871 to the present.

In addition, the evidence of gross violations of the above referenced treaties are listed herein. Lakotah encourages the United States of America, through its Government ,to enter into dialogue with Lakotah regarding the boundaries, the land and the resources therein. Please contact the Republic of Lakotah at (605) 867-1111 or info@republicoflakotah.com.

Should the United States and its subordinate governments choose not to act in good faith concerning the rebirth of our nation, we hereby advise the United States Government that Lakotah will begin to administer liens against real estate transactions within the five state area of Lakotah.

Lakotah, through its government, appointed the following representatives to withdraw from all the treaties with the United States of America based on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties entered into force in 1980 and the

U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007:

It will be interesting to see what if anything comes of this. I lived in sw NYS not far from Salamanca for a number of years and always found it interesting whenever the State wanted to tax the Native American's sale of gasoline and tobacco.

Yes it is very interesting. Currently the Feds are ignoring them as far as I can tell.

Nothing more has been heard on this...it was pretty quiet when the news broke (I only saw Fox news covered it..and they were rather indignant, LOL) and I haven't heard anything since. Anyone else?
