    I may be sounding off here, but it is completely a waste of resources for the Tribes in South Dakota to continually fight South Dakota counties, courts and state government over the existence of our reservations. My reservation, Lake Traverse Reservation of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate, was held by the U.S. Supreme Court as disestablished in 1975 and we as a Tribe still assert jurisdiction to the full extent of the 1867 Treaty boundaries, regardless of that court’s determination. Indigenous homelands must mean more than retroactive interpretations of allotment acts from the late 1800s by state’s right courts within the U.S. domestic law system. I hope Tribes go on record to support Yankton in their fight against South Dakota.
